Re: [HTCondor-users] Using Torque/PBS with HTCondor

[Ben Cotton <ben.cotton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

I'm not entirely clear what you have in mind. Are you looking to use
HTCondor to scavenge cycles from the PBS cluster when it's idle? When
I was at Purdue, we did something like that and documented it in the
HTCondor wiki:

https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/wiki?p=HowToScavengeCycles

We ran the central manager on the PBS server and schedulers on the PBS
front ends, though there's no reason you _have_ to architect it that
way.

If you want to use a condor_schedd on the Windows instances to submit
_to_ the PBS scheduler, you'll want to look at the grid universe:
http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.2/5_3Grid_Universe.html#SECTION00635000000000000000

or BOSCO:

Thanks,
BC
