1.6 Contributions to Condor

The quality of the Condor project is enhanced by the contributions of external organizations. We gratefully acknowledge the following contributions.

• The Globus Alliance (http://www.globus.org), for code and assistance in developing Condor-G and the Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) for authentication and authorization.

• The GOZAL Project from the Computer Science Department of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology (http://www.technion.ac.il/), for their enhancements for Condor's High Availability. The condor_ had daemon allows one of multiple machines to function as the central manager for a Condor pool. Therefore, if an acting central manager fails, another can take its place.

• Micron Corporation (http://www.micron.com/) for the MSI-based installer for Condor on Windows.

• Paradyn Project (http://www.paradyn.org/) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (http://www.caos.uab.es/) for work on the Tool Daemon Protocol (TDP).
