The recent thread has reminded me to post this: I did a brain dump this week on 'differences between grid engine 5.3, 6.0 and the upcoming Sun N1 Grid Engine 6 product' It is online here: http://bioteam.net/dag/gridengine-6-features.html Still waiting on feedback from the developers so be forwarned that all mistakes and omissions are my fault. For those of you with beta copies of grid engine 6 or Sun N1GE 6beta2 I'm particularly interested in feedback on the new scheduling and policy features and how you may be thinking of using them. That sort of stuff is harder to document than the dry listing of 'what is different' Regards, Chris -- Chris Dagdigian, <dag@sonsorol.org> BioTeam - Independent life science IT & informatics consulting Office: 617-665-6088, Mobile: 617-877-5498, Fax: 425-699-0193 PGP KeyID: 83D4310E iChat/AIM: bioteamdag Web: http://bioteam.net
