Issues addressed and main goals of research:
The purpose of the theme is to develop the network, information and computing infrastructure of JINR for the research and production activities of the Institute and its Member States on the basis of state-of-the-art information technologies in accordance with the Seven-Year Plan for the development of JINR. A particular direction within the theme is the development of the JINR MLIT Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC) presented as a Project.

Expected main results in the current year:
  • Provision of the stable, safe and integral functioning of the JINR information and telecommunication network (backbone network (2х100 Gbps); transport network of the NICA megaproject (8х100 Gbps); MLIT mesh network (100 Gbps); telecommunication channels (3х100 Gbps); Wi-Fi network at the Institute’s sites) for reliable data exchange between the Institute’s subdivisions, the JINR Member States and international organizations collaborating with JINR.

    Provision of the full-scale and optimal operation of the guaranteed power supply and climate control systems of the MICC computing infrastructure. Implementation of the project on a new fire safety system of the MICC infrastructure.

    Expansion of the performance and storage system of the MICC basic grid component, i.e. the Tier1 center at JINR: processor capacities up to 300 kHS06, dCache storage systems on disks up to 13.1 РВ.

Maintenance of the unified system of access to the CVMFS software. Development of a prototype of the distributed data processing system for the SPD experiment, which uses the MICC storage systems (tape and disk) and heterogeneous computing resources.

    Further development of the distributed information and computing platform based on DIRAC integrating cloud resources of the organizations of the JINR Member States. Implementation of the system for monitoring the operability and performance of the resources integrated in DIRAC. Integration of new computing and storage resources.

    Creation and testing of a set of services for the prototype of the MICC unified resource management system. Development of a concept and a work plan for the creation of a custom Big Data infrastructure to solve JINR’s urgent tasks.

    Expansion of the functions of the MICC monitoring system with additional accounting elements to track user actions over time. Update and support of the monitoring system, inclusion of monitoring the parameters of new MICC elements in the monitoring.

  • Development and maintenance of the electronic document system EDS “Dubna”, the project management system APT EVM for NICA, the systems ADB2, ISS, “Document Base”, HR LHEP, CERNDB, EDS “Advance reports” at the request of end users and in accordance with the developed concept of the cloud SaaS platform of the unified administrative and business information system. Maintenance of the JINR Information System for Scientific Certification (ISSC).

    Trial operation of the server of scientific publications based on the Invenio-JOIN2 software program, provision of interaction with the PIN IS at the level of bibliographic metadata. Development and commissioning of tools for integrating the PIN and JOIN2 systems with the aim of transferring the publication data entry to the JOIN2 system.

    Maintenance of the JINRLIB and MATHLIB program libraries. Replenishment of JINRLIB with computational physics programs. Update of mathematical program libraries, their integration with modern programming languages.

    Maintenance and modernization of central information servers, portals and databases for information support and software of the MLIT and JINR activity: development of the services of the “Visit Centre” portal; modernization and administration of the website of the PEPAN and “PEPAN Letters” journals; creation and support of websites of conferences, symposia at the request of the laboratories and other JINR subdivisions; organization of websites of the JINR subdivisions and conferences in a hosting mode.

    Implementation and maintenance of the web-based information and analytical system to automate the process of managing network and other types of software licenses.
