Description

The Computing Center of the Institute of Physics (IOP) of the Czech Academy of Sciences serves a broad spectrum of users with various computing needs. The Computing Center hosts a WLCG Tier-2 for ATLAS and ALICE experiments. There are also other supported experiments from astroparticle physics, namely Cherenkov Telescope Array and Pierre Auger Observatory. Center also supports OSG stack for the NOvA and DUNE experiments. Computing resources are also utilized by local users from IOP through HTCondor batch system. Hosted storage capacity is divided between grid services (DPM and XrootD) and locally accessible NFS storage. Computing resources are distributed among several locations in the Czech Republic. This contribution will describe mentioned topics in more detail. It will also give insight in our experience with different classes of hardware and with different approaches of administration and monitoring of all services.
