Scaling up a CMS tier-3 site with campus resources and a 100 Gb/s network connection: what could go wrong? Open
The University of Notre Dame (ND) CMS group operates a modest-sized Tier-3 site suitable for local, final-stage analysis of CMS data. However, through the ND Center for Research Computing (CRC), Notre Dame researchers have opportunistic ac…
