Description
The RAL Tier-1 runs an almost 50,000 core HTCondor batch farm which supports not only the four major LHC experiments but an increasing number of other experiments in the High Energy Physics, Astronomy and Space communities. Over the last few years there has been an increasing diversification both in the types of jobs the experiments expect to run and also in the hardware available to run jobs. It has proved very difficult to schedule jobs so they run efficiently on the correct hardware, while respecting the experiment fair shares and requiring minimum admin intervention. This talk describes our experiences over the last year, what we have tried and our future plans.
