Condor Project Update - July 20, 2011

The W&L Condor Project Wiki (where this page is located) is at: http://servo.cs.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/condor/
Right now, the Wiki serves as documentation for installing Condor and configuring machines to join the Condor pool. In the future, this will be the place to go for users to learn how to submit jobs to our Condor system.

      • Host-specific Configuration Files

Configuration Organization

• Install Linux VM's on Windows partitions to allow computers to be used even when not booted to Linux
• Run Stanford's Folding@Home Project when there are no Condor jobs to run and some computers are idle.
• Farther Future
  • Configure Condor's Computing on Demand feature so that MATLAB processes will run on Condor
    • Possibly configure MATLAB on The Stable to use Condor
  • Register faculty computers with Condor to be submit machines (don't actually do any work)
  • Install Condor in other labs and on library computers across campus.
