Entry 6

Condor is running on a cluster of machines. Not just ClassAd, but instead many jobs

Basic principles: there are a bunch of command lines ( i.e.- condor_q, condor_submit)

you can get and idea on how it is running

create a job property lines (i.e.- classad)

to take this further: there is an incremental job id with a .0 at the end. the first number is the cluster number. to do things in a sequence you can express that in your job file with multiple queue statements with different .1, .2, .3

why do this? there are parameter sweep studies (problems in computational science) if you want to know all the values no an x axis you can use condor to figure this out.

END OF CONDOR FOR TODAY

next we will upload Linux and Fedora (other 3 cpus) (Open Source Red Hat)
