[condor-users] Submitting Variable Number of Jobs

[Alexander Klyubin <A.Kljubin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!


What I'd like to do with Condor is following. I submit a numbre of jobs 
into a single cluster. Each time a job finishes a script gets executed. 
This script should be able to submit new jobs to this cluster if it 
decides to do so. This kind of scenario is usually encountered in 
parallel searches, e.g., GAs. For example, in GA I'd like to evaluate 
populations and then submit new runs based on the results of preceding 
ones. I don't want to submit these new jobs to new clusters because it 
gets messy to manage them. It is much better when they all are under one 
"hood".

Is this scenario possible with Condor? As far as I can see, at the 
moment DAGMan supports only fixed number of jobs. At the same time I 
don't think variable number of jobs goes against the principles behind 
Condor.

Kind Regards,
Alexander Klyubin
