Environment from the Molecular Level

A NERC eScience testbed project

UCL condor pool

A large Condor pool at University College London was put together by members of the eMinerals project in collaboration with the Information Systems group at UCL. This pool consists of 930 teaching PCs running Windows, each with either 256 or 512 MB RAM. Since each of these machines act as a client to a Windows Terminal Server, little of their individual processing power is used by student users. The UCL Condor pool has a small number of submit nodes, of which the UCL lake gatekeeper is one.
