Major features of Condor are automatic location and allocation of idle machines, checkpointing and the migration of processes. All of these features are achieved without any modification to the underlying UNIX kernel. It is not necessary for a user to change their source code to run with Condor, although programs must be specially linked with Condor libraries. </abstract> <keywords>job scheduling; workstation cluster <category>dpt </urc>
