The scalablelogic.com website looks more than a bit unfinished. Some details of the optional commercial support would be appreciated. Just typed "open grid scheduler" into google (in order to get a link to the project page) and top of the results is an ad from Univa. > > We're currently still on 6.2u3 and obviously need to pick a successor version. My current thinking on the non-technical advantages of the various Grid Engine Successors Oracle: Commercial support from a Really Big Company Univa: Commercial support by a company that employs most of the original grid engine developers. Open Grid Scheduler: Commercial support available for a 100% open source product. Son of Grid Engine: 100% Open source project (modulo Fritz's comments re:documentation) plus a huge easily accessible bug/feature request tracker. Presumably the other versions could clone Dave's bug database since he cloned it from the original SGE bug tracker and most of the bugs probably apply to the other versions as well.
