Re: UKHA Team on Grid.org

["milesy1981" <chrismiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My system comprised of a 25 node cluster each running condor
as the local job schedulling software.

I then had a grid server running the Globus toolkit which was
basically the grid "interface" which exposed a job manager
service
(as a web service).

Grid clients could basically run computationally exhaustive neural
network algorithms on the condor pool through accessing the Grid
server.

if that makes sense to you. You can get a lot more indepth
information from the doc file I linked (you need to copy and paste
the full link to get it to work) including performancing testing etc.
