Cuda Load Sensor for Grid Engine


Do you use Nvidia Cuda on Grid Engine? Here is a GPU Load Sensor which supports Cuda that enables Grid Engine to schedule according to your current Cuda capacity and capabilities.

It has been tested against SGE 6.2u5 and UGE 8.0.0, but should work with any 6.x or later Grid Engine. It has been built against Cuda 2.2, 2.3 and 3.2.

Still some work to do to tune how the load values are set, and what types they are. I would like to hear from anyone trying it out, and suggestions on how best to use it to launch jobs.

Cycle computing creates 10k core condor cluster on a click

Click to start 10k core condor cluster that costs about a kilobuck and hour is simply an amazing accomplishment. The HPC in the cloud bar has been reset dramatically.
