Rocks+SGE users can leverage
the SGE Roll (Rocks+ licenses procured from
Clustercorp, SGE support procured separately) for
tight integration between Rocks+ and SGE. Grid Engine
is a Distributed Resource Management (DRM) software.
DRM software aggregates compute power and delivers it
as a network service. Grid Engine software is used
with a set of computers to create powerful compute
farms, which are used in a wide range of technical
computing applications such as the development of
semiconductors, bioinformatics, mechanical design,
software development, oil/gas exploration, and
financial analysis; additionally, massively scaling
supercomputers use Grid Engine software in a variety
of academic and research pursuits.
Compute resources in a typical data center have utilization rates that are on average 10%-25%. By installing and using the Grid Engine software, it is possible to achieve resource utilization upwards of 80%, 90% or even 95%. This increase in utilization comes from the intelligent distribution of workload to the most appropriate available resources. Additional features like advance reservation and resource quota sets give users and administrators the ability to make the most of their compute resources. Grid Engine Support |
