Modeling languages and Condor: metacomputing for optimization

A generic framework for utilizing the computational resources provided by a metacomputer to concurrently solve several optimization problems generated by a modeling language is postulated. A mechanism using the Condor resource manager and the AMPL and GAMS languages is developed and applied to a technique for solving a mixed integer programming formulation of the feature selection problem. Due ...

NEOS and CONDOR: Solving Optimization Problems over the Internet

Condor and the Grid

Ready access to large amounts of computing power has been a persistent goal of computer scientists for decades. Since the 1960s, visions of computing utilities as pervasive and as simple as the telephone have motivated system designers [1]. It was recognized in the 1970s that such power could be achieved inexpensively with collections of small devices rather than expensive single supercomputers...

The Condor

Intensive study of certain phases of the habits of the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was made by the writers at the San Joaquin Experimental Range in the foothills of Madera County, California, during 1939, 1940, and the early part of 1941. This wide-ranging, common, and important raptor is well known through such detailed studies as those of McAtee ( 1935)) Bent ( 1937)) and Sumner (1929...
