Manage compute-intensive jobs with Condor.
Condor lets you queue multiple jobs, searches for free machines on the network (those with no keyboard activity, no load average, and no active Telnet users), and submits jobs to them, then returns the results to the machine from where it was submitted. Condor is a batch system — once a job is submitted, there is no interaction between the job and the user. Any input to the job must be in a file which is submitted along with the executable to the Condor pool, while all the output during the execution of the job is written to a file, which is sent back as the result of execution to the submitting machine.
