USGS uses HTCondor to advance Mars research
USGS uses HTCondor to pre-process 100,000+ images to enable access to Machine Learning and AI analysis of the Mars surface.
HTCondor Software Suite (HTCSS) provides an array of services for automating and managing High Throughput workloads and computing capacity.

HTCondor is a software system that creates a High-Throughput Computing (HTC) environment. It effectively uses the computing power of machines connected over a network, be they a single cluster, a set of clusters on a campus, cloud resources either standalone or temporarily joined to a local cluster, or international grids. Power comes from the ability to effectively harness shared resources with distributed ownership.
The HTCondor-CE software is a Compute Entrypoint (CE) based on HTCondor for sites that are part of a larger computing grid (e.g. European Grid Infrastructure, Open Science Grid). As such, HTCondor-CE serves as a "door" for incoming resource allocation requests (RARs) — it handles authorization and delegation of these requests to a grid site's local batch system. Supported batch systems include Grid Engine, HTCondor, LSF, PBS Pro/Torque, and Slurm.

Researcher Receives David Swanson Award for Work Powered by High Throughput Computing
The annual OSG David Swanson Award is presented to University of Nebraska-Lincoln postdoctoral researcher Brandi Pessman, for her engagement with the community, and work using high throughput computing to track spider web-construction behavior.
