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.

Advancing Science Internationally Through Collaboration
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, with two high-energy particle beams traveling at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide. But how do particle collisions go from data plots to groundbreaking scientific advancements, like confirming the existence of the Higgs-Boson Particle?
