We are actually planning on providing SGE support for OSCAR. Since OSCAR defaults to openPBS for its resource manager, we need to provide an abstraction for the resource manager/scheduler layer before a SGE package would be feasible.

We will keep the list posted on the progress.

Cheers,

Bernard

Basically it's free - As far as I know but you have to pay for extra features such as
more advanced scheduling etc.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have SGE as an extra module in OSCAR.

Is SGE opensource...?
Is it GNU license based s/w..?

Hi Marc:

        I have installed SGE the 'unconventional' way, that is I do not
        set it
        up as an NFS share. In that case, I just set up the master node and
        then copy the resulting directory to the OSCAR images. After all
        the
        nodes have been setup by OSCAR, then you can set them up as
        execution
        hosts using cexec like:

cexec 'cd /opt/sge; ./inst_sge -x -auto -fast'

        Of course first you need to set up those nodes as Administrative
        nodes
        in SGE.

        I am in the process of creating a SGE Package for OSCAR, but before
        then, this is hopefully not too painful to set up.

        P.S. There are 2 tarballs for SGE, one is the source and the other
        actually includes the binaries.

Cheers,

Bernard
