Grid Engine 6.1 Advance Reservation Snapshot 3

Posted by chris Thu, 08 Nov 2007 20:51:19 GMT

From the announcement:

... This snapshot is based on the Grid Engine 6.1 Update 2 release enhanced with the Advance Reservation (AR) feature. AR will be included in the next major update release of Grid Engine. The functionality allows users or administrators to reserve particular resources for future use. These reserved resources are only available for special jobs and the scheduler ensures the availability of the resource when the start time is reached.

The design of the Grid Engine Advance Reservation can be found here: AdvanceReservationSpecification.html

Anyone interested in testing this snapshot release should understand that this needs to be done as a clean install. There is no upgrade procedure and the #3 snapshot is incompatible with previous snapshot releases

Also- it's called Advance Reservation, not Advanced Reservation as 2007 Workshop attendees are all well aware of. DanT has some interesting things to say about this snapshot over on his blog, including details on what other features went into this release.
