Up: Hands-on session with Condor:
Previous: DAGMan
Contents
While we have covered most of what you would normally use with Condor, there are
also some other functionalities worth exploring:
- The Java Universe, which is better suited to run Java applications. More
info at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/2_8Java_Applications.html
- The possibility of creating DAGs within DAGs for really complex job
dependencies. See section 2.11.9 in
https://research.iac.es/sieinvens/SINFIN/Condor/v6.6/2_11DAGMan_Applications.html
- If you need more power for your job dependencies, you can use the Perl
module described
in
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/4_4Condor_Perl.html.
With it you
can create very versatile dependencies, including conditional branches, cycles, etc.
Condor is a project in constant development and many other interesting research
areas are being pursued. If you would like to find out about all this, check
its official webpage at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/
Enjoy Condor!
