Supported Job Submission Types?
Added by Stephen Jahl over 12 years ago
Hi There,
We have an existing cluster running Sun Grid Engine that we'd like to use as a processing cluster.
I see in the .appion.cfg file that you can specify: ProcessingHostType=Torque
Is torque the only processing host type that is supported, or are there others (such as SGE) that we can specify?

We have not yet added support for Sun Grid Engine, but hope to in the near future. (Since we don't have one on site, we were hoping for some help from the community.)
If you or another person on site is familiar with Python you can add a class to support SGE and it would likely get done much faster. I can work closely with you on it if needed.
The class for the Torque host can be used as a template:
source:trunk/appion/appionlib/torqueHost.py
Then there is one place in myami/appion/appionlib/apAgent.py that would need to bee modified to account for the new host type.
Shall we give it a try?
