Since computing power is everywhere, how can we make it usable by anyone?

Established in 1985, The Condor Project is a research initiative focused on distributed computing, facing engineering challenges in software/middleware development across UNIX/Linux/Windows environments. Involved in national and international collaborations, the project interacts with users in academia and industry, maintaining and supporting a distributed production environment with over 2000 CPUs at the University of Wisconsin. Through funding from various organizations, The Condor Project aims to provide client-server grid functionality and excellence in support, serving as a meeting point for physics and computer science. By bridging the gap between scientific applications and information technologies, the project emphasizes the importance of robust software materialization, engaged consumer communities, and interdisciplinary collaboration for advancements in IT. The project follows the scientific method, deploying end-to-end capabilities and advancing computational and data management capabilities through coordinated design and implementation involving domain and computer scientists.

  1. Since computing power is everywhere,how can we make it usable by anyone?

  2. The Condor Project(Established ‘85) Distributed Computing research performed by a team of ~33 faculty, full time staff and students who • face software/middleware engineering challenges in a UNIX/Linux/Windows environment, • involved in national and international collaborations, • interact with users in academia and industry, • maintain and support a distributed production environment (more than 2000 CPUs at UW), • and educate and train students. Funding – DoD, DoE, NASA, NIH, NSF,AT&T, INTEL, EU Micron, Microsoft and the UW Graduate School

  5. A meeting point of two sciences Physics Particle Physics Data Grid Computer Science

  6. The CS Perspective • Application needs are instrumental in the formulation of new frameworks and Information Technologies (IT) • Scientific applications are an excellent indicator to future IT trends • The physics community is at the leading edge of IT • Experimentation (quantities evaluation) is fundamental to the scientific process • Requires robust software materialization of new technology • Requires an engaged community of consumers • Multi disciplinary teams hold the key to advances in IT • Collaboration across CS disciplines and projects (intra-CS) • Collaboration with domain scientists

  7. The Scientific Method • Deployment of end-to-end capabilities • Advance the computational and or data management capabilities of a community • Based on coordinated design and implementation • Teams of domain and computer scientists • May span multiple CS project • Mission focused • From design to deployment
