Description
In recent times, the CMS HTCondor Global Pool, which unifies access and management to all CPU resources available to the experiment, has been growing in size and evolving in its complexity, as new resources and job submit nodes are being added to the design originally conceived to serve the collaboration during the LHC Run 2. Having achieved most of our milestones for this period, the pool performs efficiently according to our present needs. However, looking into the coming years, and particularly into the HL-LHC era, a number of challenges are being identified and preliminarily explored. In this contribution we will present our current Global Pool setup and operational experience and how it is expected to extrapolate to meet the near and long-term future challenges.
