1.5 Availability

Condor is currently available as a free download from the Internet via the World Wide Web at URL http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads-v2. Binary distributions of Condor are available for the platforms detailed in Table 1.1. A platform is an architecture/operating system combination. Condor binaries are available for most major versions of Unix, as well as Windows.

In the table, clipped means that Condor does not support checkpointing or remote system calls on the given platform. This means that standard universe jobs are not supported. Some clipped platforms will have further limitations with respect to supported universes. See section 2.4.1 on page [*] for more details on job universes within Condor and their abilities and limitations.

The Condor source code is available for public download alongside the binary distributions.
