About us

The CICC is a unified information and computing complex designed for all local and international JINR projects. All computing and data storage resources are serviced by a single basic software.
The software settings of the complex are optimized to maximize the use of computing resources and support the most universal and secure methods of accessing data storage. Distribution and accounting of computing resources is supported based on a batch processing system and a resource scheduler.

Puppet is a client—server application that allows you to centrally manage the configuration of operating systems and programs to configure and maintain a certain state of the CICC.

Data storage is provided by EOS, EOSCTA, cvmfs, XROOTD and dCache storage systems (for ATLAS, CMS).  Access to shared software and users’ home directories is provided by AFS, cvmfs, and gitlab. The kerberos5 and ldap system is used to register and authentication   local  JINR users.

Priority is currently given to experiments of NICA projects (MPD, SPD, BM@N), neutrino physics (NOvA, DUNE, DsTau, JUNO, Daya Bay, BOREXINO, Baikal-GVD, TAIGA, DarkSide, DANSS, MONUMENT).

The experiments of BM@N, SPD actively use the computer infrastructure of the CICC for data reconstruction and storage in the EOS and EOSCTA system. The MPD experiment uses the CVMFS system to deploy the MPDRoot (software distribution) experiment software used for analysis, reconstruction, and simulation tasks.

Who can use CICC:

JINR users

Attached researchers

Students practicing in JINR

Third party staff participating in collaboration

How to know if you need СIСC:

you are a JINR project participant

your tasks require computing power

you need data storage

you have to use GRID
