Hi Bill,

Good to hear that univa is working for native support. Information about where to get openSSL and SSH will be of great help.

Thanks,
Ryagz

Hi Ryagz,

Yes you are right. The current version requires SUA but it does work on Windows 7. We are working on native Windows execution daemon right now and it is scheduled for the fall 2013. It is not a small change to do this correctly (as you can imagine). With a native execution daemon you will still need a qmaster running on Linux/Unix.

Microsoft has deprecated SUA/SFU which is unfortunate - and is one of the reasons we are doing a native execution daemon. We haven't tried installing in a cygwin environment - the machine I use is a Mac (so not surprisingly Univa Grid Engine works on that).

I can ask our dev guys if they know where to get openSSL and SSH for SUA.

Regards,

Bill.

Hi Ed,

That is some elaborate answer which answers many of my questions, Thanks for that :)

But I was trying to install demo version of univa, Univa is installing on windows with the help of SUA. It was hard for me to find to add features like openSSL and SSH to SUA. SUA community had some nice bootstrap executable which install ssh and ssl packages. But now SUA community website is shut down, and its really hard to find ways to add ssl and ssh features to SUA. Without which installation of univa will not go ahead. I also found that SUA has been deprecated for future versions of windows. So, do you have any idea if univa has installation through cygwin or any other environment?

Thanks,
Ryagz

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.

Ed

    Hi Ed,

    Thanks for your reply and good to know that univa supports windows.

    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?

    Thanks,
    Ryagz

    Univa may be able to assist you with this.
    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.

        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. Thanks, Ryagz
