High-Throughput Computing at the TU Budapest

BME IIT

The enormous increase in capabilities of computer networks open new possibilities in distributed computing. In recent years, several different software development environments and program construction techniques have been developed which are based on the distributed supercomputing model. The high-throughput computing (HTC) is an important subfield of the distributed computing, which concentrates the throughput of the system over relatively long time periods. This paper summarises the concepts of the HTC environments, and introduces the Condor system, which is one of the most important HTC tools. The Condor system has been installed in the last year at the TUB. The paper also gives a short report about our experimental HTC environment and our results.
