I won't be there, either. Note that the Grenoble workshop draft agenda has an item about batch queueing systems. I might see if I can make it there, if it makes sense. > What is the status of similar software in Debian (GridEngine, Slurm, > ...)? Mark Hymers recently said that he will not have time to maintain Gridengine anymore. AIUI, Gridengine has been abondoned as a FLOSS project by Oracle after the Sun acquisition, but there is a community fork, http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net I will see whether I get/have time to keep maintaining gridengine/gridscheduler. I don't know about Slurm, AIUI it is rather mature both upstream and in Debian, but I never used it (the Leibniz Rechenzentrum is migrating from Gridengine to Slurm at the moment, though, so I might get to use it soon :) ) Finally, we now have Torque in Debian, http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/torque.html Torque is a PBS/OpenPBS fork, quite mature upstream (and used by lots of research groups I know), but I am not certain on the Debian status. So having Condor certainly makes sense, but I think we have several mature (from a upstream POV) batch queueing systems in Debian now, but might lack maintenance personell.
