This kind of negative and non-constructive feedback only push me in one direction: do whatever I want without paying attention to any kind of feedback. As it is today, i am paying attention to Olivier Lahaye feedback and requirements because he is the only one who actually try to help.
I am not paid to work on OSCAR, i do this on my free time so like for any other similar projects: you are not happy? then contribute. It is easy to criticize, everybody can do it. When it is about to be part of the solution, as usual, everybody disappear...

OSCAR may not have died, but it is not thriving. The popularity (and usefulness) of OSCAR has dwindled since the emphasis of development has changed from adding HPC functionality (schedulers, monitors, reports, etc) to adding multi-distribution support. With this change the lag has grown in the support for new releases. Worse yet... this will continue because of the nature of the required testing (write once, test everywhere). To top it off, during this process the "primary" distribution has changed from RPM based systems to debian. What would make OSCAR thrive is new support for additional HPC functionality: Hardware detection GPU support NUMA scheduler configuration support Single System Image (or better dynamic SSIs) Infiniband configuration support Clustered filesystem support more authentication methods Ganglia reporting of Infiniband, GPU, etc Default node types (login nodes, filesystem nodes, GPU nodes) etc. Just my two cents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
