January 2025 • D. Spiga, Adriano Di Florio, Andrea Bocci, A. Pérez-Calero Yzquierdo, Christoph Wissing, José M. Hernández
In recent years, the CMS experiment has expanded the usage of HPC systems for data processing and simulation activities. These resources significantly extend the conventional pledged Grid compute capacity. Within the EuroHPC program, CMS applied for a “Benchmark Access” grant at VEGA in Slovenia, an HPC centre that is being used very successfully by the ATLAS experiment. For CMS, VEGA was integrated transparently as a sub-site extension to the Italian Tier-1 site at CNAF. In that first approach, only CPU resources…
