Re: [condor-users] Using globus with condor?

It depends on what you mean.

1) Condor can submit jobs to Globus. We call this the Globus universe, or 
Condor-G.

2) Globus can submit jobs to Condor.

Right now, #1 only works with Globus 2.x. We are working hard to make it 
work with Globus 3. I don't know of an estimated release date yet though--I 
know it's been a bit difficult, but we've made some good progress.

#2 should work with GT3, although I don't have personal experience with it 
myself.

Globus has a so-called gatekeeper node. This just turns around and does a 
condor_subimt (or the equivalent for another batch system). It does not 
need to be on the Condor central manager. In fact, it's best to be a 
separate machine, because sometimes the gatekeeper node can become quite 
loaded.

There is no such thing as "globus nodes". Globus submits jobs to an 
underlying batch system.
