• For Windows I recommend the msi installer

Start the Installer

In these slides: Version 7.4.2. Released on April 6, 2010 is demonstrated

Accept the license

We want a local, personal, installation

I want my jobs to start immediately

Leave the domain blank

You can leave these blank as well

Condor automatically detects

your Java installation

Don’t worry too much about this, we will

see how to correct/edit things later

Here, we install only the good old “Classic” features, no VM

…and no Hadoop support

Cont’

Click on Install

Click on Install

(needs administrator’s privileges)

Wait until this step will finish

You will have to restart your system

restart

The Condor service should be started

If needed restart the service here

Edit/Correct the condor_config file:

the host is set to localhost

Set the right Network Interface in

the condor_config.local

You will find both configuration files under the install dir c:\condor

condor_status

Good! So now we have a Personal Condor running on my laptop ☺

Let’s write a short C program and check

Condor: my own cpu_burn version:

#include <math.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int iMAX = 60000;

int i,j;

float fNORM, fMAX;float fNORM, fMAX;

float x,y;

fMAX = iMAX; // convert to float

fNORM = fMAX * fMAX;

for (j=0;j<iMAX;j++)

for (i=0;i<iMAX;i++) {

y = i; // convert to float

x = y*y/fNORM;

}

return 0;

}

Just copy & paste the code to

your favorite IDE and compile

In a text editor create your

submit file:universe = vanilla

executable = cpu_burn.exe

Error =

err.$(Cluster).$(Process)

Output =

out.$(Cluster).$(Process)

Log = log.$(Cluster).$(Process)

You should have in the

same folder the

executable and the

submit file

Log = log.$(Cluster).$(Process)

Queue 5

Submit 5 jobs

Watch the Task ManagerThe heat is on

Check with condor_q the

progress of your jobs

All jobs were processed

Condor daemons while

executing cpu_burn

Check the logfile that was

created
