ABOUT US<\/h1>\n

The Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC) project is being implemented within the framework of the theme \u00ab06-6-1118-2014\/2030\u00bb of the seven-year JINR development plan.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the MICC is to meet the needs of the JINR scientific community to the maximum extent possible in order to solve urgent tasks, from theoretical research and experimental data processing, storage and analysis to the solution of applied tasks in the field of life sciences. The tasks of the NICA project, the neutrino programme, the tasks of processing data from the experiments at the LHC and other large-scale experiments, as well as support for users of the JINR Laboratories and its Member States will be the priorities.<\/p>\n

The project presupposes the inclusion of two activities, which, like the project, are aimed at meeting the requirements of a large number of research and administrative personnel:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. development of the digital platform \u201cJINR Digital EcoSystem\u201d, which integrates existing and future services to support scientific, administrative and social activities, as well as to maintain the engineering and IT infrastructures of the Institute, which in turn will provide reliable and secure access to different types of data and enable a comprehensive analysis of information using modern technologies of Big Data and artificial intelligence.<\/li>\n
  2. creation of a multi-purpose hardware and software platform for Big Data analytics based on hybrid hardware accelerators; machine learning algorithms; tools for analytics, reports and visualization; support of user interfaces and tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To attain the major goals of JINR\u2019s flagship projects, it will be required to process a huge amount of experimental data. According to a very rough estimate, these are tens of thousands of processor cores and hundreds of petabytes of experimental data. The experiments of the NICA project and the JINR neutrino programme (Baikal-GVD, JUNO, etc.) entail Tier0, Tier1 and Tier2 grid infrastructures. To achieve these goals, it is essential to develop distributed multi-layer heterogeneous computing environments, including on top of the resources of the participants of other projects and collaborations.<\/p>\n

    The concept of the development of information technology, scientific computing and Data Science in the JINR Seven-Year Plan provides for the creation of a scientific IT infrastructure that combines a multitude of various technological solutions, trends and methods. The IT infrastructure implies the coordinated development of interconnected IT technologies and computational methods aimed at maximizing the number of JINR strategic tasks to be solved that require intensive data computing. The large research infrastructure project \u201cMultifunctional Information and Computing Complex\u201d holds a special place in this concept.<\/p>\n

    The MICC LRIP main objective for 2024-2030 is to perform a set of actions aimed at the modernization and development of the major hardware and software components of the computing complex, the creation of a state-of-the-art software platform enabling the solution of a wide range of research and applied tasks in accordance with the JINR Seven-Year Plan. The rapid development of information technology and new user requirements stimulate the development of all MICC components and platforms. The MICC computing infrastructure encompasses four advanced software and hardware components, namely, the Tier1 and Tier2 grid sites, the hyperconverged \u201cGovorun\u201d supercomputer, the cloud infrastructure and the distributed multi-layer data storage system. This set of components ensures the uniqueness of the MICC on the world landscape and allows the scientific community of JINR and its Member States to use all progressive computing technologies within one computing complex that provides multifunctionality, scalability, high performance, reliability and availability in 24x7x365 mode with the multi-layer data storage system for different user groups.<\/p>\n

    Within the MICC LRIP, it is provided to support the operation of all MI\u0421C hardware and software components, i.e., the Tier1 and Tier2 grid sites, the cloud infrastructure, the hyperconverged \u201cGovorun\u201d supercomputer, the multi-layer data storage system, the network infrastructure, the power supply and climate control systems, as well as to modernize\/reconstruct the above components in accordance with new trends in the development of IT technologies and user requirements. In addition, it is required to ensure high-speed telecommunications, a modern local area network infrastructure and a reliable engineering infrastructure that provides guaranteed power supply and air conditioning for the server equipment.<\/p>\n

    Expected results upon completion of the project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Modernization of the JINR MICC engineering infrastructure (reconstruction in accordance with modern requirements of the machine hall of the 4th\u00a0floor of MLIT).<\/li>\n
    2. Modernization and development of the distributed computing platform for the NICA project with the involvement of the computing centres of the NICA collaboration.<\/li>\n
    3. Creation of a Tier0 grid cluster for the experiments of the NICA megaproject to store experimental and simulated data. Expansion of the performance and storage capacity of the Tier1 and Tier2 grid clusters as data centres for the experiments of the NICA megaproject, the JINR neutrino programme and the experiments at the LHC.<\/li>\n
    4. Enlargement of the JINR cloud infrastructure to broaden the range of services provided to users on the basis of containerization technologies. Automation of the deployment of cloud technologies in the JINR Member States\u2019 organizations.<\/li>\n
    5. Expansion of the HybriLIT heterogeneous platform, including the \u201cGovorun\u201d supercomputer, as a hyperconverged software-defined environment with a hierarchical data storage and processing system.<\/li>\n
    6. Design and elaboration of a distributed software-defined high-performance computing platform that combines supercomputer (heterogeneous), grid and cloud technologies for the effective use of novel computing architectures.<\/li>\n
    7. Development of a computer infrastructure protection system based on fundamentally new paradigms, including quantum cryptography, neurocognitive principles of data organization and data object interaction, global integration of information systems, universal access to applications, new Internet protocols, virtualization, social networks, mobile device data and geolocation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      The digital ecosystem (Digital JINR)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

      Bref annotation and scientific rationale:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The activity is related to the creation of an Institute-wide digital platform \u201cJINR Digital EcoSystem\u201d. The main objective is the organization of a digital space with a single access and data exchange between electronic systems, as well as the transition of actions that previously required a personal or written request to a digital form. The platform is designed to ensure the integration of existing and future services to support scientific, administrative and social activities, as well as to maintain the engineering and IT infrastructures of the Institute.<\/p>\n

      Within the activity, two main directions of work are planned: the creation of the basic infrastructure of the digital platform (including the software-hardware and methodological support of its functioning) and different digital services. In addition to service support, digital services for scientific collaborations, whose activity is related to JINR\u2019s basic facilities, will be developed and maintained for use by the Institute\u2019s staff members.<\/p>\n

      Expected results upon completion of the activity:<\/strong><\/p>\n
