back to article Rowdy clusters put to the grindstone by Grid Engine 8.1

The advent of virtualized and cloudy infrastructure has not diminished the need for scheduling software like Grid Engine.

    No love for open source forks?

    UGE is open core and not open source

    AFAIK UGE is open core only but not open source

    and UGE really donot care about opensource community and

    Univa want to make $$ just like Oracle want to make money with Oracle GE

    .

    Oracle has yet to decide what to do with OGE the group is part of OEM, but most Oracle products already has some job scheduler already

    The OGE codes(very old) seems not to fit into other products easily

    Also only few SGE developers are with Univa

    Sun/Oracle used to publish the bugs fix list for each updates, the codes has many bugs but only few bugs are important that are in your way of running jobs

    The Open Source community is alive and good support on the user list

    current release are sge6.2u5p3 and GE2011.11p1
