ChargerNet Cluster Users:
This is a reminder that we are transitioning away from the Condor Job Scheduler to the Torque/Maui Scheduling system. We have been running both systems for most of the summer in order to allow sufficient time for you to learn the new commands and update your submission scripts and procedures. We have now moved most of our compute nodes into Torque/Maui and we plan to complete the transition and retire Condor on September 15th.

We are beginning to transition from the Condor Job Scheduler that we have used in the cluster since its inception in 2005 to the Torque/Maui Scheduling system which has become the predominate scheduler for academic HPC environments. This change will allow us to take better advantage of tools and techniques developed at other universities, provide better integration with commercial products which support Torque/Maui for parallel processing (like MatLab), and improve our queue management by implementing resource limits or “fair share” algorithms. read more »
