Grid Engine 6.2 Beta Release

By Sinisa Veseli

Grid Engine 6.2 will come with some interesting new features. In addition to advance resource reservations and array job interdependencies, this release will also contain a new Service Domain Manager (SDM) module, which will allow distributing computational resources between different services, such as different Grid Engine clusters or application servers. For example, SDM will be able to withdraw unneeded machines from one cluster (or application server) and assign it to a different one or keep it in its “spare resource pool”.

It is also worth mentioning that Grid Engine (and SDM) documentation is moving to Sun’s wiki.
The 6.2 beta release is available for download here.
