Hi, Since Oracle passes the maintainership of the open-source Grid Engine code base to the Open Grid Scheduler project in 2010, we've added lots more support for Linux and features for other operating systems, including hwloc, cgroups, cpuset, Windows/Cygwin, GPU monitoring, and AMD topology optimization: Docs for the features above: http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/projects/hwloc/GridEnginehwloc.html http://blogs.scalablelogic.com/2012/05/grid-engine-cgroups-integration.html I have nothing against SLURM (and in fact I worked with SLURM developers when SLURM was just starting - IIRC, that was pre-2003, and from time to time I work with the SLURM developers on their mailing list), but I was wondering if you can let us know what makes SLURM better than SGE?
