Re: [Condor-users] GPU and condor?

[Marian Zvada <zvada@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike for hint, that's what I've read already, seems like the 
project is not much alive since February 2009, or? Anyway I'll look at 
the sourceforge more in details what's in the box...

Will post any interesting update when we move forward with this, it'll 
be soon I believe, our organization is willing to invest in GPUs in 
large scale project in near future, so that's why we "research" now for 
good way of building sustainable infrastructure which can increase its 
size as easy as possible... Everything linux based facilities, centOS.

Will see how it goes, but still I believe, that condor is our hope and 
motivation for this experiment. So, I bet I'll dig into this mailing 
list more often soon, also with other colleagues.

Thanks and cheers,
Marian
