Take a look at this paper: "Xen and the Art of Cluster Scheduling". It integrates SGE (Sun Grid Engine) and Xen, and creates XGE (Xen Grid Engine): http://ds.informatik.uni-marburg.de/de/publications/pdf/Xen%20and%20the%20Art%20of%20Cluster%20Scheduling.pdf And Sun has another open source project called Open xVM. xVM Server is a hypervisor based on Xen and xVM Ops Center allows provisioning of cluster nodes. http://openxvm.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_xVM xVM is used to deploy cluster nodes at the Ranger supercomputer at TACC. With 3,936 nodes and 16 cores per node: http://blogs.sun.com/stevewilson/entry/xvm_at_tacc I believe you would be able to get some feedback from both the SGE and the OpenxVM projects...
