Description
This talk summarizes how the LIGO Scientific and Virgo collaborations
hunt for gravitational waves - tiny ripples in space-time created by
some of the most energetic events in the Universe. We will discuss
high-power lasers, extremely precise phase/distance measurements,
Einstein's equations, data analysis models and work-flows, largish
computing sites, Open Science Grid (OSG), and finally arrive at the
answer of how HTCondor's 8.6 release made the admins' lives a lot easier
to figure about individual pipelines, computing sites used and computing
power requirements.
