[Beowulf] live free SGE descendent (for Centos 7)?

[Alex Chekholko]

Hi David,

What is your goal?

Anecdotally, every cluster I know has switched from SGE to SLURM.  SchedMD
has an active user list and bug tracker.

If you are willing to spend money; I hear Univa support is excellent.

Regards,
Alex
