compute-intensive jobs. Like other full-featured batch systems, Condor
provides a job queueing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme,
resource monitoring, and resource management. Users submit their serial
or parallel jobs to Condor, Condor places them into a queue, chooses
when and where to run the jobs based upon a policy, carefully monitors
their progress, and ultimately informs the user upon completion. Condor
also contains mechanisms to submit jobs to grid-sites and supports many
different grid toolkits.
