Like other full-featured batch systems, HTCondor provides a job queueing
mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, resource monitoring, and
resource management. Users submit their serial or parallel jobs to HTCondor;
HTCondor places them into a queue. It chooses when and where to run the jobs
based upon a policy, carefully monitors their progress, and ultimately
informs the user upon completion.
.
Unlike more traditional batch queueing systems, HTCondor can also effectively
harness wasted CPU power from otherwise idle desktop workstations. HTCondor
does not require a shared file system across machines - if no shared file
system is available, HTCondor can transfer the job's data files on behalf of
the user.
.
This package provides HTCondor's documentation in HTML and PDF format, as well
as configuration and other examples.
