for executing batch type jobs on workstations which

abstract

Condor is a software package for executing batch type jobs on
workstations which would otherwise be idle. 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.
