Multicluster in LSF is easier to setup than Globus. Some Globus add-ons for SGE: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/tog.html http://gridengine.sunsource.net/josh.html The biggest difficulty in setting up Globus IMO, is that there are lots of security related settings to configure (just an impression), it's really for large/true grids, but smaller setups will suffer :( Note that Platform also works on the opensource Community Scheduler Framework (CSF) using Globus - you can have different batch systems controlled under CSF. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcsf (the project is not very up-to-date, not ported to GT4 yet...) > > 1) DRMAA: > > It's supposed to be batch system independent... it already has > support > > for Perl, Java, and .Net.

BDB can't be located on NFS, so the failover master won't be able to read the job info... that's what Chris complained about. A lot of people use classic spooling over NFS. > Pretty much adds up to Solaris (8,9,10) and Debian GNU/Linux - not > sure if we want to have the IRIX-boxes in the grid as well. IRIX is also a supported OS, but SGI/MIPS is so slow... just get an AMD64 :) Rayson > > > Cheers, > > Richard > _________________________________________________________________________ > Mit der Gruppen-SMS von WEB.DE FreeMail können Sie eine SMS an alle > Freunde gleichzeitig schicken: > http://freemail.web.de/features/?mc=021179 > > > > _______________________________________________ > Bioclusters maillist - Bioclusters at bioinformatics.org > https://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bioclusters > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
