Lark
Introduction
Lark is a NSF-funded project for adding network-awareness to Condor's High Throughput Computing approach.
Broadly, it can be split into three major areas:
- Advanced Network Testbed: A small testbed for Condor networking technologies. Consists of dedicated Condor 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 Condor ecosystem. This will provide various Condor daemons with the ability to make decisions based on the observed network state.
- Network Management: Have Condor 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.
