HTCondor is a Distributed High Throughput Computing system developed at the Center for High Throughput Computing at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. With it, users can divide large computing workloads into jobs and submit them to an HTCondor scheduler, which will run them on worker nodes managed by HTCondor. The HTCondor manual is a comprehensive reference for users and administrators of HTCondor. The CHTC maintains active email lists where the HTCondor community asks and answers questions about the installation, use, or tuning of HTCondor. If you have a question, encounter a surprise about HTCondor, or a potential bug, these public email lists are the first place to go. We welcome GitHub pull requests for code fixes or documentation improvements, but if you have ideas for a big feature change, please talk with us first. See CONTRIBUTING.md for a guide to building from source, our development and pull request process, code conventions, and how to run the test suite. Materials from past meetings include talks from science and industry, plus useful tutorials. The HTCondor source code is licensed under the Apache-2.0 Open Source License.

HTCondor is an open-source high-throughput computing software framework for coarse-grained distributed parallelization of computationally intensive tasks. It can be used to manage workload on a dedicated cluster of computers, or to farm out work to idle desktop computersso-called cycle scavenging. HTCondor runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and Microsoft Windows operating systems. HTCondor can integrate both dedicated resources (rack-mounted clusters) and non-dedicated desktop machines (cycle scavenging) into one computing environment.

HTCondor is developed by the HTCondor team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and is freely available for use. HTCondor follows an open-source philosophy and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
