no Black Hole detection for hosts for queue instances there is something similar, but reacts mainly on problems with SGE itself, NOT with job or environment problems no closing of nodes / host groups -only queues or queue instances (means one has to determine to which queues a host belongs to) -helper script needed here -qmod –d ‘*’@lxb500 no sort/filter options in lists preemption is not implemented in a good way -subordinate queue instances will be preempted at once, not single jobs -> should be solved in 6.2.5 but is not Fair Share accounts only CPU/Mem/IO -no runtime!! -maybe because of suspended times and the load scheduling model and renicing -but this means that inefficient jobs are not penalised need for more than 1 job per core what about the memory accounting if a job is reniced it then takes longer for the execution and then also needs more memory seconds Fair Share is not working properly with ratios smaller than 80:20 (at 90:10 it is in reality 95:5) reason unclear no formulas for Fair Share/Tickets given (claimed that it is highly interactive!) need to be tested in a larger production with many users over a longer time period -new cores will be available under SGE only no differences in accounting for priority jobs -should be done by defining priority as resource and accounting this no differences in accounting if the cluster is fully loaded or empty pend/run/susp and done/exit jobs are monitored via 2 commands instead of one future of OGE not clear, it will be further developed (but also for free?) -yes, currently done by Univa 6.2u5 (currently installed) is the last free version -from here a free developement has started monitoring/accounting(?) of memory consumption above 4 GB is not working -problem in the source code due to a wrong taken variable type no possible to switch running jobs from one queue to another
