Download Condor 7.1.2

The Condor Team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has released a new development version of their workload management system Condor. The version number has arrived at 7.1.2 and is placed under the Apache 2.0 License issued. Condor focuses on managing compute-intensive tasks and can distribute them over several connected nodes. The user sends his task to Condor, after which it handles the entire process based on set policies and availability of the connected resources, and finally sends the results back to the user. For example, it can control a dedicated Beowulf cluster to calculate the tasks, but in addition, standard desktops that are normally used for users can be included when they have nothing to do for a while. When the user returns to their desktop, the current task is automatically transferred to another free node. The very succinct announcement of development version 7.1.2 looks like this:
