Hi Ryagz, Looking at both Open Grid Scheduler and Son of Grid Engine regarding execd on Windows, this is still not stable and is not well supported if at all presently.
Your best bet if you need windows exec hosts is to go with Univa Grid Engine which is in my opinion the best supported version of Grid Engine to date and is continuously improving. Another possibility, if you have the time and are willing to integrate a bit, and if your Windows machines have enough resources, you may be able to go with a virtual machine solution where a linux VM running on the Windows machine acts like a quarterback to assist in getting work to and from the Windows machines - of course this depends on what you are eventually shooting for. Windows 7 64bit machines running say a centos 5/6 64bit linux VM is very common, so this solution is not too far out of reach - definitely a fun project to work on esp if you can get it to work well, but it may take some time. IBM Platform Computing has a complete solution for Windows 7 scheduling using LSF, but it is rather costly. PBS Pro has a good solution for Windows also, but generally is tied to their tools integrations, so support may not be the best if you are not using their tools. Or, if you would rather have a well supported Windows 7 Grid Engine scheduling solution for a reasonable price, go with Univa... Hope this helps.

I have to conclude my investigation on OGS, could you please let me know if installation of execution host is possible on 64 bit windows 7 machine with OGS at all?

Their grid engine builds are well supported for the Windows platform and the cost is more than reasonable, especially for the level of support they offer. Hope this helps. -Ed -----Original Message----- From: Raghavendra [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 06:05 PM To:[email protected] Subject: [gridengine users] Installing execution host on 64 bit windows 7 machine Hi, Has anyone installed an execution host on a 64 bit windows 7 machine? If so can please provide with references to any documentation. I tried to install(OGS 2011.11) execution host through cygwin, but the installer was returning unsupported architecture. Please let me know wat else can be done.
