Grid engine technology is currently used to power thousands of grids,
collections of network-connected servers, providing more efficient use
of computing resources. The N1 Grid Engine 6 software, the newest
version of Sun's resource management solution, includes the core
services for establishing and managing a grid environment, and provides
policy-based workload management and dynamic provisioning of
application workloads for increased productivity. This article
discusses abstracting collections of resources within the N1 Grid
environment using cluster queues and host groups, and explains how
these features can be used to simplify administration and implement
scheduling policies.
