The computing grid
CC-IN2P3 is a Tier-1 site belonging to the computing grids EGI and WLCG; it provides in this context a set of computing resources for those user communities.
If you are registered with a “Virtual Orgnization” (VO) recognized by the computing grids for which CC-IN2P3 is a partner, then you can use all or part of those services.
In case you own a computing account at CC-IN2P3, you can also use the interactive servers as a “User Interface” (UI) woth the grid.
For more details, please refer to the official documentations:
In case of question or problem, please contact our user support.
Access to resources
To use the computing grid you must connect to a UI, belong to a VO and own a valid certificate.
If you own a computing account at CC-IN2P3, you can connect to the grid from the interactive servers which provide the grid tools such as gLite, SRM…
To obtain and manage a certificate, please refer to the page Personal certificates
DIRAC Middleware
CC-IN2P3 hosts the DIRAC middleware instance within the framework of the EOSC European collaborations, providing grid services for several VO. It is accessible at this address: https://dirac.egi.eu/
