Introduction

HTCondor Overview

HTCondor is an open-source high-throughput computing software framework for coarse-grained distributed parallelization of computationally intensive tasks. It manages workload on a dedicated cluster of computers or farms out work to idle desktop computers, which is called cycle scavenging. HTCondor can run on Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and Microsoft Windows. It can integrate dedicated resources (rack-mounted clusters) and non-dedicated desktop machines (cycle scavenging) into a computing environment.
