Andrew,
Job arrays and integration with the matlab distributed computing toolkit
are two of the main reasons driving us to a PBSPro upgrade. I think our
next step should be setting up the test system and identify specific
issues with the configuration.
Your input was very valuable indeed, thank you.
Franco.

Hello Franco,
We tested PBSPro 7.1 with Maui early on (when 7.1 was still in beta) and
while we spent a little time working with the guys at Cluster Resources
and Altair, Altair made it pretty clear to us that they didn't view the
support of an external scheduler as something they wanted to do. I'm
not sure if our work with the Cluster Resources guys resulted in any
substantive changes in Maui that would help because we abandoned PBSPro
pretty quickly based on Altair's response. We moved to Torque and have
been quite happy so far - clearly its integration with Maui/Moab is very
good. There are some things that Altair is doing that we'd like to see
in Torque (notably job arrays) but I guess if we want it bad enough we
can write it ourselves. :) We have actually been able to make a few
contributions to Torque and it's nice to get positive responses.
If you're able to set up a test system our experience with the support
from Cluster Resources was pretty good - I'd try to engage them. And, I
guess, you could try to engage Altair, too although the quote from them
from last October was "We don't support the Maui scheduler so we have no
documentation that will help".
I know this probably isn't that helpful to you, but hopefully you'll
find some value in our experiences.
Best of luck,

We are considering upgrading our PBSPro 5.2 installations to 7,
significant changes have taken place in the job resource request /
placement area. Has anyone successfully integrated maui with the
PBSPro v7 ?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
