I'm hoping to get some idea as to the status and future of OGS/GE. As
background, we're a moderately sized (4000+ cores) academic cluster and
have been running SGE for several years (we've been through versions 6,
6.1, 6.2, and are now running OGS/GE 2011.11p1). As an academic cluster,
we have no intention (or means) of paying for any scheduler version or
support.
When the time came to upgrade from 6.2u5 (due to some issues we'd been
hitting, and rather soon after Oracle divested itself of open SGE
development), we chose OGS as it seemed to be the more conservative fork
(more of a maintenance branch, vs. SoGE's feature branch). That was back
in 2012. In the meantime, there has been no official release (despite an
update announced in May 2012), a few blog posts, and little public
development activity.
I don't want to come across as ungrateful and/or critical of any of the
developers (and I certainly don't want to get into the politics of the
various forks). I'm simply trying to assess the statuses of the various
projects so that I can make some plans going forward. Any and all info is
much appreciated. Thanks!
