2.1 Welcome to Condor
欢迎使用Condor

Presenting Condor Version 6.8.6! Condor is developed by the Condor Team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), and was first installed as a production system in the UW-Madison Computer Sciences department more than 10 years ago. This Condor pool has since served as a major source of computing cycles to UW faculty and students. For many, it has revolutionized the role computing plays in their research. An increase of one, and sometimes even two, orders of magnitude in the computing throughput of a research organization can have a profound impact on its size, complexity, and scope. Over the years, the Condor Team has established collaborations with scientists from around the world, and it has provided them with access to surplus cycles (one scientist has consumed 100 CPU years!). Today, our department’s pool consists of more than 700 desktop Unix workstations and more than 100 Windows 2000 machines. On a typical day, our pool delivers more than 500 CPU days to UW researchers. Additional Condor pools have been established over the years across our campus and the world. Groups of researchers, engineers, and scientists have used Condor to establish compute pools ranging in size from a handful to hundreds of workstations. We hope that Condor will help revolutionize your compute environment as well.
引荐Condor 6.8.6版本！Condor由威斯康星-麦迪逊大学（UW-Madison）的Condor小组开发，早在十多年前就作为正式系统首次安装在了UW-Madison的计算机系。这个机群作为一项主要计算资源已经为UW的师生服务多年。对很多人来说，Condor彻底革新了他们在研究中所采用的计算方式。为一个科研机构的计算吞吐量带来一个，有时甚至是两个数量级的增长无疑会对其规模，复杂度，和范围产生深远影响。多年来，Condor小组同世界各地的科学家们建立起了协作关系，并向他们开放可用的运算资源（某位科学家甚至消费了100个CPU年的计算量！）。现如今，本系的机群已经容纳了超过700台桌面Unix工作站和超过100台Windows 2000机器。在一个普通工作日里，我们的机群可以向UW的研究人员交付超过500个CPU工作日的计算资源。这些年在我们学校和世界各地又陆续建立了很多的Condor机群。成群的研究员，工程师，和科学家们已经利用Condor将几台乃至上百台的工作站组建成机群。我们希望Condor也同样能够帮助你革新自己的计算环境。
