Hello everybody,
Well, it seems no more suggestions are coming, so I'll summarize:
Recommendations have been:
Torque, Slurm and Sun Grid Engine.
The Sun Grid Engine has now forked into 4 packages:
*Oracle Grid Engine
(http://www.oracle.com/us/products/tools/oracle-grid-engine-075549.html)
Proprietary $$$
*Univa Grid Engine Open Core
(https://github.com/gridengine/gridengine) Only the core is
free.
*Son of Grid Engine (https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE), as soon as
I found the phrase "Building the source is rather a pain," I
ran
away from it.
*Open Grid Scheduler (http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/) I had
problems with the documentation. 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.
Thank you to Alcides Simao, Marcel Swart, Steen Hammerun, Mikolak
Feliks and Herbert Fruchtl for their input.
Have a nice day.
Victor
