For ease of installation and use, it's a toss-up between SGE
(Gridengine) and
Torque. I personally like the SGE GUI, but I think Torque nowadays also
comes
with one (haven't used it since the free version of PBS (one of
them...) turned
into Torque). I think both have Ubuntu (and presumably Debian)
installers. SLURM
is slowly catching up, but not quite as easy to install, and it has no
GUI.
HTH,
Herbert

Hello everybody,
I'm thinking about setting up a queuing system for my cluster, but I am really
at a loss about how to choose one. I have heard about Torque and SQS, but never
used any of them. My cluster is a small, Debian-based 32-cpu cluster with local
scratch disk space for each 4-cpu box. So, I would like to know, what do
CCL'ers actually use to queue their jobs?
My calcs use a mix of mostly GAMESS-US and GROMACS with some ORCA. Both GAMESS
and GROMACS can easily use the whole cluster, but the ORCA calcs cannot use the
whole cluster, thus the need to have them waiting for the next available box.
Best regards
Victor
