7. LIGO-G080280-00-W Use of Condor by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration Condor handles 10’s of millions of jobs per year running on the LDG, and up to 500k jobs per DAG. Condor standard universe checking pointing widely used, saving us from having to manage this. At Caltech, 30 million jobs processed using 22.8 million CPU hrs. on 1324 CPUs in last 30 months. For example, to search 1 yr. of data for GWs from the inspiral of binary neutron star and black hole systems takes ~2 million jobs, and months to run on several thousand ~2.6 GHz nodes.

LIGO-G080280-00-W Inspiral Analysis Pipeline Multidetector pipeline  Pipeline topology is same for all inspiral searches  BNS, PBH, BBH, spinning BBH  Different template/filtering code used for different searches  Can be used for LIGO-GEO and LIGO-VIRGO analysis Pipeline Description  Inspiral search run on each IFO  Look for triggers coincident in time and mass between detetors  Follow up with signal-based vetoes  Perform coherent analysis of surviving triggers  Follow up candidate events

11. LIGO-G080280-00-W Example Test DAG for Condor Regression Testing Makes fake data for each detector (same code is used in Monte Carlo simulations). Run the fully-coherent multi-detector continuous-wave search code, used to search for GWs from rotating neutron stars. Compares the output with reference data.

12. LIGO-G080280-00-W The LIGO/Condor Success Story Condor handles most of our searches and is vital to the success of LIGO. Condor and LIGO have a biweekly telecon to discuss issues & enhancements. In approximately the past year, Condor successfully enhanced scaling to support non-trivial O(1M) node DAGs, implemented option to prioritize nodes, e.g., depth-first traversal of DAGs, added categories to limit on number of resource intensive nodes in a DAG, handling of priorities and staggered start of jobs. Condor is working on a list of enhancements to, e.g., speed up of starting DAGs by O(100x), automate finding of rescue DAGs, e.g., when there are DAGs within DAGs, and merging of sub-DAGs. Add standard universe support on RHEL/CentOS and Debian. Condor is compatible with BOINC and can run backfill E@H jobs on the LDG clusters when there are idle cycles. For the future: Our offline/online high throughput computing needs will continue to grow. Online jobs moving towards low latency; need to think about computing needs for realtime detection when Advanced LIGO comes on line.
