Sun Grid Software

[Mike Mettke]

All,

we got it here. Some remarks:

1. The manual tends to be on the unreadable side.
     I wish they had a little reference sheet to hand out to the user.
     The manual assumes that you pretty familiar with cluster computing .....

2. The cod_commd needs periodic  restarting, that is, we have a cron job running which kills  an unresponsive
cod_commd and restarts it.

3. Support for classes of queues would be nice.


Other than that, we had some fairly dramatic success in bringing cluster power to some folks who think Windows is
fully capable OS.

hope this helps,
Mike
