HTC Overview

What it is:
  • HTC delivers large amounts of compute power over a "long" period of time (i.e., it's not HPC).
Examples:
  • lots of serial jobs on an "HPC" cluster;
  • backfill and scavenging for "spare" CPU cycles — Condor.
Suitable for:
  • many relatively short jobs, e.g., parameter sweep;
  • a very large job which can be split into many small, independent parts;
  • very long jobs.
