I recently ran into HTCondor, which is an implementation of High Throughput Computing (HTC). It is developed and maintained by the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
HTCondor makes use of all available computational resources to get a job done. Computational resources could be processors in a single machine or a distributed computing system. It allocates jobs to different machines based on rules and has the ability to transfer jobs from 1 machine to another.
Condor generally finds its applications in servers/distributed networks/farms. However it can be used to execute jobs in parallel on a single machine too.
1. Install condor
sudo apt-get install condor
2. Run condor_status to see your processors
condor_status -available -> shows available procs
condor_status -run -> shows procs that are running a job
