Please track notes from HTCondor week here, particularly new features we may want to investigate. It could be some time before we can look at them and I don't want to forget. If possible include:
- Name or very brief description of the feature (e.g. DAGman flow)
- Any links provided by the talk or that you can track down in semi-realtime
- Broader description of each item and maybe some context of where it might be useful
The primary function of this is as a note to future versions of us so no need to go into great detail, just want to avoid head scratching questions about 'what was that thing, that was going to help with that other thing'.
Try to create and follow some form of structure using headers and bullets.
OSG School
Do we want to attend the OSG School? https://opensciencegrid.org/virtual-school-2021/
Command line changes
They plan to make just a "condor" command that works like git or aws. That sounds great.
DAGMan Workflows inline submit
Coming soon will be able to have just one file (DAG) that also does the submit.
Youtube Documentation
May be useful for users if we switch to HTCondor more broadly. CHTC Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1UBXmZIgB4p85t2tu-gLw
Grafana based dashboard
The LIGO talk on their dashboard is akin to something I'd like to see us try at some point.
get_htcondor
This is a script you download from https://get.htcondor.com/ as get_htcondor and then you can run that to install HTCondor.
Htcondor.dag API
The HTCondor.dag API looks like it might be interesting for setting up iterating over a large number of data sets where there are complex dags which differ by only a small amount.
CVMFS
Is CVMFS helpful to us at all?
