ConGUSTo: (HT)Condor Graphical Unified Supervising Tool (1412.5847v1)

Abstract: HTCondor is a distributed job scheduler developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which allows users to run their applications in other users' machines when they are not being used, thus providing a considerably increase in the overall computational power and a more efficient use of the computing resources. Our institution has been successfully using HTCondor for more than ten years, and HTCondor is nowadays the most used Supercomputing resource we have. Although HTCondor provides a wide range of tools and options for its management and administration, there are currently no tools that can show detailed usage information and statistics in a clear, easy to interpret, interactive set of graphics displays. For this reason, we have developed ConGUSTo, a web-based tool that allows to collect HTCondor usage and statistics data in an easy way, and present them using a variety of tabular and graphics charts.
