I've been loosely following the thread, but slurm would be pretty good as an alternative to SGE (we use slurm quite a bit in work for our compute clusters) and to top it off, there is a patch to gnumake which does an "srun" (under an a slurm allocation) instead of a fork and sh .. if would be quite easy to taskfarm out the jobs if hugin could dump out a makefile with a bunch of commands to run for the stitch jimmy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
