KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics (RMKI) of the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences became an independent legal entity on 1st January 1992
in accordance with the directive issued by the president and the general
secretary of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Earlier, in the 1975-1991 period,
RMKI, as an institute with the same name as today,
worked within
the framework of KFKI (Central
Research Institute
for
Physics). At that time KFKI comprised four, later five research institutes.
The KFKI itself was founded in
1950.
Our Tier2 supports not only the ALICE and CMS LHC experiments but also other VOs such as VIRGO and VOCE. KFKI RMKI is also the main platform for the first official Hungarian VO of EGEE, the Hungrid VO.
KFKI-RMKI Grid Services
Our grid site is a part of the EGEE project and managed by the Research Institute For Particle And Nuclear Physics (the RMKI), Computing Network Center Department (SZHK) since 2003. Now in the cluster there are approximately 420 processors, and 130 terabyte storage space. Our cluster is a homogeneous Sun Grid Engine (SGE) cluster with 2GB RAM per core.
The KFKI RMKI Grid services are installed as part of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG).Our Tier2 supports not only the ALICE and CMS LHC experiments but also other VOs such as VIRGO and VOCE. KFKI RMKI is also the main platform for the first official Hungarian VO of EGEE, the Hungrid VO.
