|
Service Domain Manager (SDM) Cloud Adapter and initial Power Saving support. It provides an interface to manage Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Amazon Machine Images (AMI). Supports cloud-only and hybrid (local+cloud) Sun Grid Engine environments.
|
The ability to provide elastic expansion and contraction based on demand fluctuations.
|
|
|
SGE Inspect provides a graphical monitoring interface for Sun Grid Engine clusters and Service Domain Manager instances, all in a single window. It enables to monitor the service framework and the resources being managed by it.
|
Provides simpler management of both SGE and SDM.
It visualizes key indicators in easy-to-read 2D graphs
and charts. It also provides historical documentation of management
decisions for future investments when needed.

Exclusive Host Scheduling The cluster can be configured to allow
jobs to request exclusive use of various components of a given
execution host,
An exclusive job will only be scheduled on execution hosts
that have no jobs currently running. For a parallel job running on
multiple machines, this rule applies for the slave tasks of the job as
well.
|
Offers predictable performance guarantees are required.
The tight integration of parallel systems is made much easier and can
eliminate the need for additional, complex scripts.
|
|
|
Graphical Installer complements the existing command line based installation routine and simplifies initial cluster setup with easy-to-navigate
displays. It also verifies installation options.
|
Helps new users to more easily install the software. See video with demo
or Podcast Daniel Templeton interviews Lubos Petrik.

|
Job Submission Verifier (JSV) is an automatic filter for the system administrator to control, enforce and
adjust jobs submissions. The basic idea is that on both the client side and the server side, the administrator has the ability
to configure scripts that can read through job submission options and accept, reject, or modify the job submission
accordingly.
|
JSVs open up a new world of possibilities that didn't exist before, and it will largely end the need for qsub wrapper scripts. This lowers the barrier for users of High Performance Applications, where small typos or inaccurate resource requests from users can be automatically corrected.
