That's great.

Just one quick question - how did you
submit the R jobs to Condor? We have done a similar thing (but not in the
scale you have mentioned) using /usr/bin/rscript on the cluster nodes.

Hi All,
 
Just wanted to share a little success story.
 
We are a small public university that has
been hit hard in both human and budget resources in recent years (as many
schools have). We do have a research computing group but overall our IT
is stretched so thin that most all of those folks are on fire duty. A group
in our Statistics department was up against a runtime wall trying to run
some R jobs in VM’s. There were a total of 8000 jobs that each took 12
hours  to complete (with unfettered access to a single core). By marshaling
a few of our labs we were able to run over 1100 simultaneous jobs on 175
ish machines (mostly i7’s a few i5’s) even through several electrical
storms that rebooted all the machines and caused all manner of networking
errors IN TIME! She is going to add me to the Author list for the paper
and we will put a blurb about Condor.
 
I hope this will be a proof of concept
for a larger roll-out. I also plan to replace our torque scheduler for
ROCKS with this for our mpi jobs.
 
Thank you for such a polished and stable
product. I am a fan for life!!!
 
Thanks,
