Re: [Condor-users] Help on setting up the Condor-G

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to install Condor on the client machine (the machine to  
which you initially submit the jobs). The other machines need to have  
Globus installed. Globus requires a local scheduler to actually run  
the jobs. For a single machine, you can use the fork scheduler (which  
means Globus runs the job directly, a la the fork() system call).  
When a site has multiple machines, you'll probably want to install a  
local batch system (Condor, PBS, etc) and have Globus run the jobs  
using that.
