[gate-users] condor

[Fernando Rannou]

Although Condor is more than a queueing system, 
it can be used as a queueing system. 
It also balances the amount of CPU
time assigned to each user, so all users get a fair
share of the cluster. Sometimes, we also use some other
niceties, like when a job requires more than 2 Gb, it runs
alone in dual CPU nodes with, say 3 Gb of memory.

I do not know about OpenPBS. In the Cluster Task Force
we are developing a framework independent of the cluster
subsystem, and each group will contribute some code
to support many different queueing systems, like Condor,
OpenPBS, PBSPro, and others. Hoping to submit to IEEE.
