U.S. CMS Grid
The US CMS Grid is part of the WorldWide LHC Computing Grid for LHC science analysis. The US CMS grid environment is part of the Open Science Grid infrastructure. The national and international grid infrastructures such as OSG and the LHC Computing Grid Project provide the basis for the Worldwide CMS computing system. The USCMS Grid software infrastructure is a collaboration across CMS, with the Fermilab Computing Division, with other physics groups in the US and with computer scientists at various universities.
