High-Throughput Computing (HTC) is a computer science term to describe the use many computing resources over long periods of time to accomplish a computational task.

High Throughput vs. High Performance

There are many notable differences between high-throughput computing and high-performance computing (HPC). HPC tasks are characterized as needing large of amounts of computing power for short periods of time, whereas HTC tasks also require large amounts of computing, but for much longer times (months and years, rather than hours and days) [1].

HTC systems have the advantage that the computing resources used for a task do not need to be in the same administrative domain. This can be accomplished This part will discuss the differences
