---++ "Phoenix", the Swiss LCG Grid Cluster

The CSCS LCG cluster is a dedicated resource for the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP), mainly to analyze data coming from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN. CSCS operates the Swiss Tier2 in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) for CHIPP and provides support to the whole CHIPP community. It is also part of the infrastructure of the European Grid Initiative (EGI).

   * PhoenixSetupAndSpecs gives a brief overview of the current installed services on the cluster.
