[Condor-users] Notification of multiple job completion

["Rob Matthews" <rmatthews@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am new to Condor and am using it for Monte Carlo simulation. Each MC run is independent and carried out by a given executable which produces a results file, so I have a wrapper program which populates the inputs for these and submits all the needed runs to the Condor queue. This all works great except now I need some way of knowing when all the MC runs I submitted are complete so I can postprocess results (i.e. parse all the individual results files and operate as needed).

 

Right now my wrapper code does this by polling the local directory every 5 seconds looking for the needed results files but this becomes inefficient with large simulations. Is there a mechanism in Condor to possibly execute a program (like my postprocessing code) once all the jobs submitted to the queue are compete?

 

Thanks!
