Performance vs.ThroughputHigh Performance - Very large amounts of processing capacity over short time periods (FLOPS - Floating Point Operations Per Second)High Throughput - Large amounts of processing capacity sustained over very long time periods (FLOPY - Floating Point Operations Per Year)FLOPY 30758400*FLOPSĭistributed OwnershipDue to dramatic decrease in the cost-performance ratio of hardware, powerful computing resources are owned today by individuals, groups, departments, Huge increase in the aggregate processing capacity owned by the organizationMuch smaller increase in the capacity accessible by a single person The Religion behind High Throughput ComputingKey Concepts:High Throughput Computing (HTC)Distributively owned resources Welcome to the Condor Tutorial!IntroductionsWhat is Condor ?A system for High Throughput Computing Condor TutorialNCSA Alliance 98Presented by:The Condor TeamUniversity of Wisconsin-MadisonEmail: Ĭondor Tutorial, NCSA Alliance '98, April 27th 1998
