I just got access to a FreeBSD 5.3 box, and I find that Gridengine (SGE) fails to compile. (SGE 5.3p6 was OK on FreeBSD 4.x/5.x) I find that it is caused by pthread_t is undefined. For Linux, "sys/types.h" includes "bits/pthreadtypes.h", and thus it's OK - and other OSes are similar too. So I am

Anyone interested in porting checkpointing libraries to FreeBSD?

Hello, Someone asked for checkpointing libraries for FreeBSD on the cluster list. I went to -- http://www.checkpointing.org/ today and found they have several libraries for Linux (and also several kernel patches for kernel checkpoint ), but no FreeBSD ports available, however. Anyone interested

Hi, I compiled the source, changed a few parameters, and SGE finally runs on FreeBSD. It is running in single- user mode, with only 1 host. I am doing a little clean up, and then I will need to make sure my changes do not affect others (by "#ifdef BSD"). It still does not get the correct system

Tony, The Mac OS X port of SGE is done. It starts jobs nicely, and it runs as root. Instead of using the big "hack", you can reuse the code in the Mac OS X port. Mac OS X uses FreeBSD (and the mach u-kernel), so I think from the user-level, it looks much like FreeBSD. You can get the diff from:

FreeBSD hackers and Beowulf users, I am porting SGE (a software for the compute farms, or the so-called batch systems) to *BSDs, and I am wondering if someone can take over some of the ports. I just started porting the code to *BSDs. Currently, I can get the code compiled on *BSDs with "#ifdef BS
