Grid service policy
T3_US_UMD is a CMS Tier-3 site funded entirely through grants awarded to the University of Maryland, receiving no CMS community funds. As such, we have no contractual obligations to the CMS community, though opportunistic use by members of the CMS virtual organization is encouraged.
- Local users have first access to all available batch slots.
- Opportunistic use by any member of the cms VO is allowed, but jobs may be killed at any time without notice.
- A maximum wall clock time of 24 hours is strictly enforced.
- Each job slot has 2GB of memory (3 GB in r720 machines). Jobs consuming more than 2GB of memory may be killed at any time without notice.
- Each job slot assumes 1 CPU available. Multi-core jobs are not supported.
- To send data to our site via CRAB's SE output mode, please follow these instructions. We strongly encourage the use of our SE by UMD-affiliated personnel only and reserve the right to delete user data stored in our SE without notice.
- To request a data transfer of official data to our site using PhEDEx, please follow these instructions.
Officially deployed CMSSW releases are available through CVMFS and are handled centrally from CMS.
