Does anybody know of a good alternative to Sun Grid Engine? It seems that Oracle is now charging for this software. I am running a HPC cluster that has Solaris 10 machines and I am adding some nodes that will be running Ubuntu 10.04, eventually the Solaris machines will be migrating to Ubuntu.
Hi,
I was trying to run a program that calls 8 processors (with max. RAM of 2 GB per processor). I want to run this program on my cluster that runs SGE.

USER(5) Sun Grid Engine File Formats USER(5)NAME
user - Sun Grid Engine user entry file format
DESCRIPTION
A user entry is used to store ticket and usage information on a per user basis. Maintaining user entries for all users participating in a
Sun Grid Engine system is required if Sun Grid Engine is operated under a user share tree policy.
If the enforce_user cluster configuration parameter is set to auto, a user object for the submitting user will be created automatically
during job submission, if one does not already exist. The auto_user_oticket, auto_user_fshare, auto_user_default_project, and
auto_user_delete_time cluster configuration parameters will be used as default attributes of the new user object.
A list of currently configured user entries can be displayed via the qconf(1)-suserl option. The contents of each enlisted user entry can
be shown via the -suser switch. The output follows the user format description. New user entries can be created and existing can be modi-
fied via the -auser, -muser and -duser options to qconf(1).
Note, Sun Grid Engine allows backslashes () be used to escape newline (
ewline) characters. The backslash and the newline are replaced
with a space (" ") character before any interpretation.
FORMAT
A user entry contains four parameters:
name
The user name as defined for user_name in sge_types(1).
oticket
The amount of override tickets currently assigned to the user.
fshare
The current functional share of the user.
default_project
The default project of the user.
delete_time
Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.
The wall-clock time when this user will be deleted, expressed as the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970. If set to zero, the
affected user is a permanent user. If set to one, the user currently has active jobs. For additional information about automatically cre-
ated users, see the enforce_user and auto_user_delete_time parameters in sge_conf(5).
