Set up and run the CSU Fresno ATLAS Tier 3 cluster for ATLAS physics (2011 to present). The cluster was funded
by NSF MRI grant. Dr. Sergey Uzunyan from Northern Illinois Univesity (NIU) provided essential help in system design, setting up and maintaining
the cluster. The CSU Fresno ATLAS Tier 3 cluster has been running and heavily used for ATLAS physics by our group members. The cluster is currently
maintained by Jay Fowler and Choa-Lin Chou of CSU Fresno ITS department.
