Features
The CSF and Condor:
- Run multiple computational jobs simultaneously
- Suitable for multi-core jobs, or those that need large amounts of memor
- Also suitable for large numbers of small jobs or larger jobs which can be split into small jobs
- Run in ‘batch’ – submit jobs to a queue without user interaction
- The iCSF offers an alternative environment, to interact with software via the application’s own interface
