---++ "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).

Any question regarding the Phoenix services hosted at CSCS can be asked directly to the Site Sysadmins: *grid at cscs dot ch*

Besides, if you want to contact site admins and also our VO Representatives, you can use: *lcg at cscs dot ch*

Also, two mailing lists are available for users of the PHOENIX cluster users:

   * *tier2-users at cscs dot ch*: used for broadcasting downtimes and generally technically relevant messages for users who rely on the local resources of the PHOENIX cluster (e.g. on the storage accessibility). Subscribe/unsubscribe by sending mail to _tier2-users-request at cscs dot ch_ (the email is read by a human operator, no need for special format).
   * *cms-users at cscs dot ch*: will receive CMS specific messages in addition to all messages from the tier2-users list. Subscribe/unsubscribe by sending mail to _cms-users-request at cscs dot ch_ (the email is read by a human operator, no need for special format).
