I certainly didn't say Grid Engine is buggy, at least not in comparison. But there are bugs, and tough ones on top. A lot has been fixed for u5 and then 80 more for Univa Grid Engine 8.0.0. There are still bugs, of course, or performance restricting issues. An if you run a production environment on which your users depend then having not only a number to call but also the deep-level experts behind that number does not sound like such a bad idea, if you ask me.

You also may forgive me if I point out that the relative stability you are experiencing is because of a certain group of people who stood behind the product for all those years. So ...

Cheers,

Fritz

We're currently running 6.2u3 on our cluster.  We should really
upgrade this to something more current.  In particular we want to move
to something with
support for the -tc and -binding options to qsub.  While in theory we
could just grab 6.2u5 which has the features that we need right now
we'd like
to move to a version with forward momentum.  The question is which version?

We had Fritz Ferstl in yesterday to explain Univa's  commercial
offering and what they offer over and
above the common core.  Fritz also explained that contrary to our
experience Grid engine is really
buggy, unstable and hard to debug so we really need a support contract
with them:)

Does anyone want to sing the praises and explain the advantage of the
various other variants of Grid engine out there
(Univa's open core, Oracle Grid Engine, Open Grid Scheduler, the Love
child variant or even using some linux distro
which includes an SGE variant)?
