The 2008 – 2009 Polar Grid team focused on the permanent installation of a Condor-based test cluster. Network topography, naming schemes, user management, and compatibility concerns were the primary foci of the implementation. The machines targeted were the SunFire V480 management server and several SunBlade 150 workstations as workers all running Solaris 10 as the primary operating system. The Condor High Throughput Computing software was utilized as a scheduler for jobs submitted to the server and then distributed to the workers.
