SGE now called OGE, no longer free

[Edward Ned Harvey]

An open source derivative of SGE has spun off, and is hosted by sourceforge.

http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/

 

Now it remains to be seen, what will be the value of that.  It could amount
to nothing more than a code freeze of 6.2u5, or if some major player
actually feels they had a significant enough benefit of free SGE, then they
may assemble a development team to continue on that code.  Who knows.

 

Who are the largest consumers of free SGE?  Amazon?  Whoever they are, they
would be the most likely to contribute development to the gridscheduler
project.

SGE 6.2u5 is still available from http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ but
apparently it's the last free version.

 

OGE 6.2u6 is only available for free as a 90-day eval (honor system).
Otherwise, you need to pay.
