QosCosGrid (QCG) is an integrated system offering leading job and resource management capabilities in order to deliver supercomputer-like performance and structure to end users. By combining many distributed computing resources together, QCG offers highly efficient mapping, execution and monitoring capabilities for a variety of applications, such as parameter sweep, workflows, multi-scale, MPI or hybrid MPI-OpenMP. The QosCosGrid middleware also provides a set of unique features, such as advance reservation, co-allocation of distributed computing resources, support for interactive tasks and monitoring of a progress of running applications. The middleware is offered to end users by well-designed and easy-to-use client tools. At the time of writing, QosCosGrid is the most popular middleware within the PL-Grid Infrastructure. After its successful adoption within the Polish research communities, it has been integrated with the EGI infrastructure and through a release in UMD and EGI-AppDB it is also available at European level. In this article, we focus on the extensions that were introduced to QosCosGrid during the period of the PL-Grid and PLGrid Plus projects in order to support advanced user scenarios and to integrate the stack with the Polish and European e-Infrastructures.
