{subsection: Introduction}
-Lark is a NSF-funded project for adding network-awareness to HTCondor's High Throughput Computing approach.
+Lark was a NSF-funded project for adding network-awareness to HTCondor's High Throughput Computing approach.
Broadly, it can be split into three major areas:
*: Advanced Network Testbed: A small testbed for HTCondor networking technologies. Consists of dedicated HTCondor pools at Wisconsin and Nebraska. This will serve as a "launch point" for Lark technologies onto the production clusters at the sites.
*: Network Monitoring: Integrating existing network monitoring tools (particularly, perfSONAR) into the HTCondor ecosystem. This will provide various HTCondor daemons with the ability to make decisions based on the observed network state.
*: Network Management: Have HTCondor actively alter the network layer based on its internal policies.
-Lark started on October 1 and will last for approximately two years. More information will be added to this wiki page as the project progresses.
+{subsection: Results and Products Produced}
+Work on Lark started on Yr 2013 and completed in Yr 2015.

+Lark produced {link: http://is.gd/p30kCd code for a pluggable HTCondor contrib module}, with plans to merge much of this code (currently on git branch V8_2-lark-branch) into production HTCondor during the v8.5 or v8.7 developer series.

{subsection: Advanced Network Testbed (ANT)}
The ANT consists of small HTCondor pools at Nebraska and Wisconsin. These are meant to test Lark technologies and harden existing advanced HTCondor network technologies.
