My problem is now resolved. I installed (g)nqs, and
this works perfectly. Thanks to Kevin Partin, Sys.
Admin Account.se, Jean-Pierre Vorlet, Yogesh Bhanu,
Selden E. Ball, Jason T Hardy and Ralf Eichmann.
Other suggestions went for:
OpenPBS:
You may want to visit
http://www.openpbs.org/ (the
commercial version, PBSPro is available at no cost for
universities) and
http://supercluster.org/maui
(a very flexible scheduler).
Generic NQS:
Migrating from NQS (which iseven more dead than DQS;
see
http://www.gnqs.org/) to PBS, and reportedly
pleased with it (enough to buy the "Pro" version, I
understand).
Generic NQS (2):
Generic-NQS-3.50.9.tar.gz downloadable from
http://www.go.dlr.de/fresh/unix/src/misc/
CODINE: (Sun has bought the commercial version,
CODINE, renamed it Grid Engine, and still tries to
push it to their customers (free of charge); but even
their HPC ClusterTools recommend LSF instead. In case
you're curious, see
http://www.sun.com/gridware/. I'm
afraid they only have Tru64 5.0 and 5.1 binaries
available at the moment, but the stuff is
open-source.)
Grid Engine (same as Codine ):
Sun obtained the rights to DQS and used it to produce
Grid Engine.
It's freely downloadable.
See
http://www.sun.com/software/gridware/
LSF:
Well we use LSF on Tru64 (its a comercial software) .
One requires separtae conf files for tru64 4.x and 5.x
. But you can download and try for free.
