A framework allowing users to run time-critical work at ECMWF is available to our users. Some general background information can be found in a  document from the ECMWF Technical Advisory Committee.

This framework has been divided into three options.

Option 1 allows users to submit jobs linked to the ECMWF operational activity and is called "Simple time-critical jobs".

Options 2 & 3 will allow users to run more complex time-critical work at ECMWF. These options are described in more detail in  "Framework for Time-Critical applications".
