Speaking as a bio-IT type, SGE aka "Grid Engine" is *extremely* well suited for life science workflow requirements and tends to be the dominating distributed resource management product I see across biotech/pharma/academic/government installations. Running in second place is Platform LSF and there are a scattering of PBS/Torque/Condor sites rounding out third place.

I'd encourage Indrajit to check out both grid engine as well as the bioclusters mailing list if the cluster is going to be used for informatics work.

Slurm and SGE. Alas no Torque or PBS.
