Re: [HTCondor-users] How can I avoid the ClassAds matching system?

[qing <gang.qin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

  In the job description file, you can add the machine name in the 
requirements options:

  requirements  = ((Arch == "INTEL" || ARCH == "X86_64") && (machine == 
"node045.beowulf.cluster"))

  Then this job will be sent to node045.beowulf.cluster.

  Cheers,Gang

I want to do this not because the HTCondor's matching ClassAds algorithm is not good enough. It is because we want to collect information of each machine in the grid system and do some analysis to find the best machine according to our own criteria.

The mechanism is flexible, following requests from the job submission, while allowing the second pool, or a subset of machines within the second pool to set policies over the conditions under which jobs are executed.
