Description
The CERN Batch System comprises 4000 worker nodes, 60 queues and offers
a service for various types of large user communities. In light of the
developments driven by the Agile Infrastructure and the more demanding
processing requirements, it will be faced with increasingly challenging
scalability and flexibility needs.
Last HEPiX, we presented the results of our evaluation of SLURM, Grid Engine
derivatives and HTCondor. The latter being the most promising one, we started
setting up an HTCondor pilot service. This talk will present the initial
functions provided by this service. We will then discuss the development
steps we took to implement them. Finally, we will name the next features
which will ultimately be leading to the new production CERN Batch Service.
