Tru64 Managers:


I have an engineering/high-performance computing environment. Users like to
submit lots of analysis jobs (~ 100) and have them all get executed, be able
to monitor them, kill off them, etc.

First -- the engineers/users know about Platform Computing's Load Sharing
Facility (LSF) and would like us to evaluate that product. Do you have any
comments about using LSF on Tru64/TruCluster?


Second -- are there other built-in, freeware, or commercial packages that
provide for this type of batch queueing --- ESPECIALLY any packages that
take advantage of the TRUCLUSTER infrastructure ?

We're NOT looking for a complex scheduling package (e.g. we don't need to
run lots of interacting/interdependent overnight processes).

Thanks for your assistance/input/advise!



Environment: Tru64 5.1 patch 3; TruCluster 5.1; Dual ES40 systems via Memory
