Seems like the installation is far from straightforward. Regarding Slurm, I was put off by the need to install yet another package (MUNGE) for authentication. Torque seems pretty well self-contained and it has the most (to me) understandable documentation, so I'll stick with it.

*Univa Grid Engine Open Core (https://github.com/gridengine/gridengine)= Only the core is free.

*Son of Grid Engine=A0 (https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE), as soon as I found the phrase "Building the source is rather a pai= n," I ran away from it.

*Open Grid Scheduler (http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/) I had problem= s with the documentation. Seems like the installation is far from straightf= orward.

Regarding Slurm, I was put off by the need to install yet another packa= ge (MUNGE) for authentication.=A0 Torque seems pretty well self-contained a= nd it has the most (to me) understandable documentation, so I'll stick with it.=A0
