Distributed information and computing infrastructure of JINR member states' organizations.

For a significant reduction of time spent on research to obtain meaningful results in scientific fields, the computing resources of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and some organizations of its Member States were integrated into a distributed information and computing environment (DICE). The technical possibility for running tasks in the environment was implemented for users of the BM@N, MPD and Baikal-GVD collaborations. The resources not occupied by computational tasks within the main scientific fields of JINR are used to conduct studies on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease. In addition, the paper gives a description of the DICE technical implementation, lists the participating organizations and provides some statistics on the use of their resources.
