Does anyone know anything about GNQS (Generic NQS)? I would like to use
it as a replacement for DQS (since DQS is non-free and GNQS is GPL'd),
but I found it confusing to set up. I'm also not sure if it can cope
with MPI/PVM jobs.
In my opinion, we are really lacking a good free (DFSG) queuing system.
Perhaps I should look at GNU queue again. Last time I looked at it, it
wasn't really usable.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm currently using DQS, but I
don't like it since it's poorly documented, unreliable, and non-free.
Thanks,
Greg
