| =====What is Condor?===== | =====What is Condor?===== |
| [[http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/|Condor]] is a high-throughput computing system. Similar to a high-performance computing system, which is the most typical kind of supercomputer, a "high-throughput computing system" is designed to process very large amounts of data with distributed computational resources. Since such programs are typically limited with respect to reading and writing the data, high performance is needed in the realm of data access and manipulation rather than in processing speed. In order to accomplish this, the system provides an efficient way to store and access data while providing computational resources that allow the data to be processed by many machines once if the data permits.((Ideally, the data is organized in such a way that it can be processed in many independent segments that do not rely on other segments in order to make progress.)) | [[http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/|Condor]] is a high-throughput computing system.
