RHEL 6.x has the newer kernel, which gives us much better performance
than the ancient kernel in RHEL 5.x.

And AMD Magny-Cours & Bulldozer need newer kernel versions. In fact
new Linux kernels are needed for the following OGS Grid Engine
features:

Any plans to switch to git? I have nothing against svn, and in fact we
switched from cvs to svn when Oracle gave us the maintainership of the
open source Grid Engine codebase. However, sonner or later you will
find that someone will demand for a git tree.

What needs to be done for SGE? IIRC, the original integration was done
by a Google Summer of Code student.

Also, in order for OSCAR to be useful for future workloads, we should
have support for Cloud & Hadoop. In Grid Engine, we added the support
recently:

http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/GridEngine/GridEngineCloud.html

And earlier this month, we provisioned a 10,000-node cluster on Amazon EC2:

Also, it may be useful to support Intel Phi:
