Thanks for the suggestion, but it don't matter. Unfortunately. The driving force behind it is EDA tools. For example, Cadence, has a nice GUI for drawing up schematics and circuits etc. Then you click "place and route." "simulate" etc. Jobs will be distributed to a cluster of compute nodes. The GUI needs to have integration for whatever scheduler you're using in the background, and the only three options are LSF, SGE, and the Cadence proprietary scheduler. If you use LSF, you pay. If you use SGE, everything's right. And if you use the proprietary scheduler, then you can't distribute any type of jobs other than Cadence jobs. So the clear winner is SGE. Until recently. Now it's a trade-off between LSF and OGE. Need to try 'em both, and choose whichever one you like better. And so it goes. Same story for half a dozen other EDA tools. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
