Re: [LUG] Clusters, Servers, Networks

 

Anybody had a go of condor?
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/

It sounds interesting:
"Condor can run users' ordinary, unmodified executables and scripts in
the "vanilla" universe. These programs may rely on an existing shared
file system for I/O, or Condor may optionally stage the needed data
files in and out. If desired, users' may optionally re-link their
applications with the Condor C library and submit them to the
"standard" universe. This provides checkpointing and transparent
remote I/O without any modification to the application source code.
However, this step is entirely optional. (Source: Online Manual ) "

"Unix machines and Windows machines running Condor can happily
co-exist in the same Condor pool without any problems. Jobs submitted
on Windows can run on Windows or Unix, and jobs submitted on Unix can
run on Unix or Windows."
