HTCondor

Purpose: HTCondor creates a high-throughput computing environment that uses networked machines to run submitted jobs.
Job scheduling: HTCondor finds available machines for submitted jobs and can restart a job on another machine if its current machine becomes unavailable.
Scale: The overview describes using HTCondor to submit many jobs at once, including thousands of runs across multiple data sets.
Resource matching: HTCondor uses ClassAds to match resource offers from machines with job requirements and preferences.
Execution model: HTCondor can run jobs without requiring users to have login accounts on the machines where the jobs run.
Platforms: The product page says Linux, macOS, and Windows are supported.
Cloud and grid use: The overview says HTCondor can use clusters, cloud resources, or international grids, and the product page describes flocking multiple HTCondor installations together.
License: HTCondor Software Suite is licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0.
Security updates: The security page says fixes are provided for the current feature and LTS versions and, after a new LTS release, for the previous LTS version for approximately twelve months.
Community support: Free, community-based best-effort support is available through the htcondor-users mailing list.
Contract support: Fee-based internal support offers guaranteed problem resolution, faster turnaround, telephone access, and a high-priority email address.
Cloud storage integration: HTCondor supports file transfers to and from S3-compatible storage, including Google Cloud Storage through its S3 interoperability API, but does not support transferring entire buckets or directories.
Recovery: If a machine running a job becomes unavailable, HTCondor can automatically restart the job on another machine.
Workload scale: HTCondor is useful for running jobs thousands of times across different data sets, and can run jobs on otherwise idle machines in the pool.
