The Open Grid Scheduler Project is releasing a new release: Grid Engine 2011.11. We are going back to the open source model that was used by Sun Microsystems (2001 - 2009), together with optional commercial support, and with partners (more on that in a later email, and SC11 news too!) working together to improve Grid Engine.
Release notes: http://www.scalablelogic.com/home/ReleaseNotes.pdf Source tarball and binary packages will be available early next week. New features ------------ * Berkeley DB Spooling Directory can now be placed on NFS (NFSv3 or older, basically any modern network filesystems) * Portable Hardware Locality Library (was under alpha/beta since April 2011) * CUDA GPU load sensor * User notification mails can be sent from a configurable user ID * Job exit status available to epilog - via $SGE_JOBEXIT_STAT * ARM Linux support - ARMv7. * qmake upgraded to version 3.82 (same set of code changes for issue 2544) * Support for Linux 3.0 * Perfstat library used on AIX, retiring ibm-loadsensor * Support for newer AIX versions * Tango qmon icons * Code quality improvements - static code verifier used for testing PQS API code cleaned up and we are releasing the PQS API Scheduler Plugin Interface as technology preview. Compatibility ------------- - drop-in replacement for SGE 6.2u5, OGS 6.2u5p1, OGS 6.2u5p2 - We have tested compatibility and/or make sure that the following open source projects that depend on (or integrate with) Sun Grid Engine would also work with this release. * Rocks Cluster Distribution * StarCluster (cloud provisioning) * lltop from TACC for Lustre I/O accounting In the future, we will have a more formal compability test procedure.
