At a previous job, I installed SGE for our cluster. At my current job
Torque is the queuing system of choice. I'm very familar with SGE, but
only have a cursory knowledge of Torque (installed it for evaluation,
and that's it). We're about to purchase a new cluster. I'd have to
make
a good argument for using SGE over Torque. I was wondering if the
following SGE features exist in Torque:
1. Interactive shells managed by queuing system
2. Counting licenses in use (done using a contributed shell script
in SGE)
3. Separation of roles between submit hosts, execution hosts, and
administration hosts
4. Certificate-based security.
Are there any notable features available in Torque that aren't
available
in SGE?
what you can find in Torque but not in SGE: request a mixture of
nodes, i.e. one heavy node with much memory (or big I/O options) and
5 nodes with less memory or less disk performance for a parallel job.
OTOH, if you have parallel jobs: http://www.beowulf.org/archive/2007-

What is different between them from the idea: in Torque you submit a
job into a queue, while in SGE you request resources and SGE will
select an appropriate queue for you.
