More efficient. –Deployed for the first time in gLite 3.0 CREAM: new lightweight CE –Not yet in gLite 3 release. Will need exposure to users on dedicated system. –WSDL interface –Will support bulk submission of jobs from WMS and optimization of input/output file transfer. –Plans are to have a CE with both Condor-C and CREAM interfaces
