Hi, I got something new about Condor VM Universe here : http://cca11.org/files/2011/04/p09.pdf In section 2.2, it says: In order to improve the performance of VM jobs at start and eviction, the Condor developers added support for pre-staging VM images on execute hosts in Condor version 7.5.3. By pre-staging the VM on local disk, job startup and eviction no longer saturates the network connection. The bulk queueing of VM jobs is also faster since the scheduler does not have to copy the same image out to each execute node. How to configure this new pre-staging feature in Condor? -Arindam |
