I'm an XBMC man, so I will be XBMC biased. However, my brother is PLEX biased... so here's a VERY SHORT why you should use PLEX paragraph:
If you want to watch movies and videos on your televison, computer, ipad, iphone etc... and run them off one library; Choose PLEX. It is easier to setup, they stream to IOS devices well, and you can have the one shared library. However, the iPhone app is $5.49; not sure what the iPad app costs. (Plex is free software for your PC/server, but the smartphone/tablet device clients cost a little $$). You don't need me to go on about XBMC's advantages / disadvantages, because you have a whole forum to read for those answers. ...DJVege... HTPC: G840 + GT430 + 2GB RAM + 30GB SSD Remote: iPad/iPhone + iRule + USB-UIRT // FireFly RF Remote Software: XBMC Eden + Eventghost + Win7 |

I've used both. XBMC begat Plex so they're quite similar and it really comes down to personal taste as well as what devices you use and own.
Plex has a couple of nice features such as 'on deck' which does a nice job of highlighting recently added media. The Plex media server is also great because it organises and downloads metadata about your media automatically and it makes organising media easy and painless. This media server also makes it very easy to run Plex and access your media on a range of devices from the iPad to a laptop to a smart TV. If you use multiple devices in the one home, Plex is worth taking a look at. Some users reckon Plex doesn't run great on a Windows machine as it can prove unreliable. This is probably because Plex for Windows is a relatively new offering. However, Plex runs and looks particularly good on any mac machine and I think it was originally designed with OSX in mind. That said, it looks to me like Plex is slowly moving towards a more monetised offering as evidenced by the Samsung TV partnership and the more pricey iOS app. I also have a feeling they're going to release a dedicated Plex box similar to the Apple TV. It's also worth mentioning that the Plex media server app for iOS runs without jailbreaking where as the XBMC app requires the user to jailbreak. XBMC is way more customisable than Plex and sometimes it can seem a little more complicated, as evidenced by the requirement to jailbreak iOS devices. I think XBMC has more plugins and skins than Plex and the community surround XBMC seems to be much larger and much more willing to implement new features. That said some of these features or plugins require the user to have a basic understanding of how the OS works. This might not be an issue for most people here but it can be for girlfriends, kids etc. There's also a Plex plugin for XBMC which replicates the features of Plex called PleXBMC. XBMC also has a variety of alternates which people can install e.g. XBMC Live, Openelec. XBMC will as far as I know always be free and open-ended. In short, there'd be no Plex without XBMC and if you a like a HTPC you can tweak and personalise XBMC is worth a look. Currently I use the openelec version of XBMC. Why? Because it boots within ten seconds into XBMC and it makes XBMC run exactly like a device such as a DVD player. This means I never have to mess around with the OS. As seamless as Plex worked with OSX it couldn't quite replicate this experience. The only real feature of Plex I miss is the media server as I find organising my media a pain. My favourite add on is the Sabnzbd suite which includes Couch Potato and Sickbeard. It automates the process of downloading movies and TV shows. However, I think there's a similar version for Plex. You can install and run either app for free right now and decide which suits you best. Then there's Boxee, Windows Media Centre, Mediaportal...

I heard PLEX is a port of XBMC, so this question is on the basis of this assumption.
Is it possible to run the PLEX server to download metedata and update the database. Then have XBMC client that uses the database (assuming mysql) Edit: Should of done a little research on this, apparently you can with this addon http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topi...-for-xbmc/ |

I thought about trying plex since they now got a windows version. Like the idea about the server.
But they have for some reason removed the rar-support, which have always been a killer feature of xbmc, imho.

Plex support of subtitles, of all types, is pretty horrible. So if you like films/tv not in your native tongue, or are an Otaku, or deaf, your out of luck with Plex. They have promised a number of times to work on it, but never have and don't seem to care beyond giving the impression that they will, so that people might buy the mobile app on the hope that real support is coming.

The options are plentiful this weekend in Central Louisiana. Take a drive to Natchitoches, or stay in town it won't be hard to find something to do.
1ST NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS 'HOLIDAY MAGIC': 6 p.m., Alexandria Fulton Mini Park. Food, music and lighting of downtown. Call (318) 449-5051.
Dear Abby: Im the proud mother of four beautiful children -- a daughter, a son and 8-year-old twin boys. I am having a hard time getting people to understand that my boys, whom I rarely refer to as twins, are two SEPARATE people! Every year at Christmas some family members buy gifts for our daughter and our eldest son, and then ONE gift our younger boys are expected to share. Abby, they once received one T-shirt, which was meant for both of them. This also happens on their birthday.
Dear Rev. Graham: I'm in the county jail for the third time this year, once again for something minor. Each time, I've said I'm going to do better, but then I get sucked into doing something wrong and end up back here.
Dear Dr. Roach: Why do people snicker when I tell them I have RLS? They wouldnt laugh if they knew the amount of sleep deprivation I have endured during the 20 years it took to correctly diagnose it. I think if it hadnt been for Sinemet (levodopa and carbidopa), a Parkinsons drug, I would have gone mad long ago. Has anyone discovered what causes it? -- G.S.G.
(March 21-April 19). You may be unaware of the deep impact you have on another person's life, but you can be sure that someone thrills to your call, your attention and even just seeing you around.
Central Louisiana will be in the national spotlight again today as a Travel Channel special will detail the lives of some residents who have made the most of their hobbies.
Who doesn't love chocolate truffles? They are the essence of chocolate, and a sure-fire mood enhancer. Pop even one into your mouth and see if you don't get happy.
Picking a bourbon isnt the one-two-three choice it used to be. Theres been a boom in brands, especially from small, premium producers, not to mention a flood of new styles. Will you go for a barrel-aged version? Honey flavored? How about a bourbon thats been aged at sea?
Samuel Adams releases its Utopias beer every two years at an insane price, and every batch is very different.
NEWCOMERS CLUB: 11:30 a.m., Yolande's, 1818 Andrews St. Call (318) 487-1605
Dear Abby: I have been with my fiance since 2006. We expected to be married in 2008, but my grandmother died a month before my wedding, and then he was arrested because of charges stemming from a sexual relationship hed had with a 17-year-old girl he had been counseling.
Dear Rev. Graham: Why is my faith so unstable? Sometimes it's very strong, but sometimes it's so weak I'm not even sure it's still there. Is this common? -- D.L.
Dear Dr. Roach: One week ago, my 99-year-old dad tripped over a metal strip that connects carpet to tile in a brightly lit concession area at a local movie theater and broke his left hip. Surgery was performed the next day, and he has been suffering the side effects ever since. Hospital personnel told me he would need rehab after the fact, but no one mentioned the effects of anesthesia on the very elderly.
(March 21-April 19). You love specifically. Take note of the precise qualities that thrill you. If you can later tell someone in detail what you love about him or her, it will be among the greatest gifts you could give.
After you've stuffed yourself with turkey and taters and gravy and pie and of course stuffing, you might be ready to do penance before the next rush of holiday calories.

(April 20-May 20). You think you know right from wrong, but when you get into some of the gray areas today, you'll discover that it's not as clear as you thought. Your intentions are pure, but is that enough?
Dear Abby: I am a 38-year-old woman who has been dating a 41-year-old man for seven months. He's wonderful and treats me magnificently. We have similar values and interests and are very much in love.
Dear Rev. Graham: I know you say we're all sinners and we all fail to live up to God's moral standards, but maybe He doesn't even care what we do. Maybe God just wants us to be happy and have a good time. Could I be right? I hope so. -- J. McK.
Are you noticing more and more coconut products in the stores and more blogs recommending coconut oil in recipes?
Dear Dr. Roach: I have a rare type of colitis called collagenous colitis. The latest episode was set off two and a half years ago, when I took statins for a short time. I have not been able to get it under control since then. Asacol has not been successful, although it did work in the past. The only thing that seems to work now is budesonide, which is terribly expensive and causes weight gain. Any suggestions? -- D.W.

Dear Dr. Roach: A recent column mentioned statin drugs and their effect on women. In August 2008, my internist said studies had shown that statin drugs for diabetics promoted heart health. At the time, my A1c was 5.8, total cholesterol 139 and LDL 75. He prescribed 5 mg Crestor every other day. By June 2009, my total cholesterol was 104 and LDL 43. My internist still wanted me to continue with Crestor, but lowered it to twice a weekly because I was concerned that my LDL was too low.

Fibre, fixed wireless and satellite
NBN Co is committed to delivering the leading edge broadband service to all Australians by leveraging the three types of technology available - fibre, fixed wireless and satellite, depending on location.
Our fibre network
As new devices and applications continue to rapidly drive bandwidth demand and usage growth, NBN Co is developing the future-proof solution that will enable access to superfast broadband regardless of where you live. Our network will also enable Australia to catch up with the rest of the world and prepare itself for future technological advances.
More and more people are using the Internet as a part of their daily lives. The average per user monthly volume of traffic downloaded on a fixed broadband connection increased 21% to 9.2GB in the six months to June 2010*. This continues the long-term trend of circa 50% annual growth in internet traffic, a trend consistent with international online behaviour.
*(According to the ABS' Internet Activity Study)
The technology we utilised 5 years ago, that delivered speeds of around 256kbps, is no longer viable today. Consequently, we cannot assume that what we use today will be adequate in the next few years. We expect that fibre will allow for growth and development in the future. 93% of Australian premises will be connected by fibre and will receive a high-speed broadband network that will provide superfast speeds.
Bandwidth demand
Download speeds have increased exponentially since 1985, driven by the emergence of new cost-effective delivery technologies that take advantage of the availability of higher speeds. As illustrated, if the historic rate of increase is maintained over the next 15 years, download speeds in 2025 will be in excess of 1Gbps.
*Source: NBN Co, Alcatel - Lucent
There are currently five main technologies being used to deliver broadband to residential consumers in Australia: Telstra's copper network (ADSL; ADSL 2+), Telstra and Optus HFC networks, Fibre, Wireless and Satellite.
Whilst each of these technologies is able to compete effectively for a share of the broadband market at relatively low average expected user speeds, technologies, other than fibre, have technical limitations that make delivery at higher speeds increasingly difficult.
While forecasting for future trends is difficult, the pattern of growth is clear and it will become progressively difficult for any non-fibre delivery platform to support future demands for speed and capacity, based on the current technology upgrade maps for each technology.
Fixed wireless
Because of the size of our country, we will need to use fixed wireless and satellite technology to connect those premises that do not fall into the fibre footprint.
We will utilise fixed wireless technology because we can develop a reliable service by building a network for a more predictable number of users in a given area. The antennas used are generally fixed and installed so that they are directed towards the fixed wireless base station. With mobile wireless the number of users in a cell can vary widely, and the strength of the signal change as you move closer or further away from base station.
This technology will be available in specific areas as part of our suite of technologies to ensure we can provide high-speed broadband to all Australians.
People in homes, small businesses and indigenous communities in some of the most remote areas of Australia will be among the first users of a new broadband satellite service provided over the NBN.
NBN Co's Interim Satellite Service will be available to eligible individuals and small businesses on the mainland and across Tasmania from July 2011, with the first priority being given to those who currently have no alternate access to broadband services. Eligible households, small businesses and communities will then need to order their service via a participating retail service provider.
For more information on the Interim satellite service:
Read the media release on Interim Satellite Service.
Download frequently asked questions regarding the NBN Co Interim Satellite Service.
*The speeds actually experienced by end-users via fibre, fixed wireless or satellite will depend on a number of factors including the retail broadband plan they choose, their equipment and their in premises connection.

SourceMedia's conferences and events division
SourceMedia, publisher of American Banker, this month introduced SuperBanker, a mobile Web-based game that was played by attendees at the Best Practices in Retail Financial Services Symposium in Boca Raton, Fla. The company said the game—which awarded points to players for networking with other attendees, visiting exhibitors and answering trivia questions about conference content—was played by 40% of the more than 500 attendees at the event. They accessed the game via an American Banker Events app on iPhones, Android phones or the mobile Web. Media Business asked John DelMauro, senior VP of SourceMedia's conferences and events division, about the impact of "gamification" on the event.
Media Business: What were your goals for the game?
John DelMauro: Our overall goal was to increase attendee and exhibitor engagement by engaging the attendees by peer-to-peer networking, exhibitor engagement and content. They would get points for each of those by going up to one another and connecting with and engaging with (fellow attendees). They would also get points by engaging with exhibitors. They would have trivia questions based upon the content in the sessions, and you would earn points through that as well.
MB: Was the feeling around the event different because of the game?
DelMauro: Absolutely. It was forced networking, but our strategy was to really incent people to take advantage of the game. So we needed some prizes for the winners. (SourceMedia said in a news release that the prizes included T-shirts, gift certificates, mobile devices, resort stays and a grand prize of a $1,000 donation to a charity of the winner's choice.) Once you got to certain levels, you got prizes. Our goal was to make people motivated to play the game, and it worked. We had some power users. Attendees said they felt more confident about approaching other attendees because there was a reason to introduce themselves.
MB: What are your future plans for gamification?
DelMauro: I think we're going to try it in other markets than banking. We have an employee benefit conference coming up in September where we're going to apply the game to that market. The overall strategy is the same principle—really engaging attendees and exhibitors in peer-to-peer interaction.

Just let them pump more!
Lots of Hot Air on Gas but No End to High Prices – FoxNews.com.
The leadership and many of the party members of the democrats just don't seem to understand it. Yes the gas prices are high. But not because of the oil companies. It's because of the unrest in the middle east and the governments over regulation of the production of domestic oil.
They keep saying they want the economy to recover… But this is another example of them making it worst. If they punish the oil companies for their "objectionable" business… Never mind without it we wouldn't have any transportation, farmer would have to use horses again to plow their fields, and 90% of the country would have no power or heat… Well if they punish the companies for the BS global warming pollution, forget $5 per gallon but more like $10 per gallon at the pump.
If the Democrats get their way, you will see food prices go up so much that milk will cost $8 a gallon. Yeah that will help the poor and middle class to pay their bills. But don't worry, inflation is low according to the government and and food and gas aren't in the rate any how. But I digress… If the gas price raise to high then more and more will lose their jobs. Companies won't be able to transport their goods. Even online shopping will be reduced because the shipping companies will have to raise their prices.
What the Democrats aren't smart enough to see is that they are the problem and not the oil companies. The governments regulations make it where we have to import most of our oil. This makes us rely of an area of the world that tend to hate us and is in a constant state of conflict. If the government would allow the oil companies to drill on and off shore, the prices would drop almost over night at the mention of it. It would increase jobs in the country with thousands running for the hundreds of new openings that the oil companies would need to fill.
But nope, that isn't what the Democrats want. Nope they want you and me to go broke because we drive those dirty polluting cars to a job. Nope they want us to live closer to our jobs so we can walk to work each day… Never mind that for many of us, our jobs are in high income location, bad areas of town, too remote to walk too, or etc… Of course these Democrats in general have no problem flying first class on your dime to where ever they want.

As the fight continues against disease carrying mosquitoes, hundreds of free home larvicide kits remain stockpiled in Central New York.
As part of the "Fight the Bite" campaign, the State of New York has purchased thousands of anti-mosquito kits for homeowners in six counties including, Onondaga, Oswego, Oneida and Madison counties in Central New York.
The kits are free on a first come, first served basis but relatively few people have taken advantage of the offer.
They're intended to kill off mosquito larvae in pools of standing water including, water gardens, bird baths, roof gutters and unused swimming pools. The packets dissolve on contact with surface water and spread an insecticide containing Bacillus thuringiensis. According to the label, the larvicide "will not harm fish or other benefitical aquatic organisms."
In Onondaga County, the kits are available at the Onondaga County Soil & Water Conservation District which is located at the St. Marie Museum on the Onondaga Lake Parkway.
District Manager Mark Burger says less than 100 people have picked up the larvicide kits leaving more than 450 still available. Burger says he has contacted local towns and villages and will begin distributing the kits at their offices as well.
According to the State Health Department, 830 mosquito pools throughout the state have tested positive for the West Nile Virus including 13 in Onondaga County and 5 in Oswego County. There have been 25 human cases of West Nile statewide which includes 2 in Onondaga County and 1 in Oswego. To date there have been 2 deaths recorded in New York State including 1 in Onondaga County.
The Towns of Hastings and West Monroe in Oswego County have decided on their own to begin aerial spraying for mosquitoes. They expect to begin spraying Thursday evening.
The kits are available at:

Google's Larry Page, at a recent meeting, discussed advances due in a few years. In this issue, we look 50, 100 and 150 years out.
Image: Mariette DiChristina
More In This Article
Larry page, ceo of Google, has said that he gets excited about ideas that can change the world even though "it's easy to think they're crazy now." Take the company's self-driving cars project. Within 10 years, he told a rapt audience at the 2012 Google Zeitgeist meeting, the technology could eliminate a leading cause of death for 16-year-olds. They would have the illusion of driving, he explained: "They just can't kill themselves or anybody else." Or consider wearable computers such as Google's prototype Project Glass, which could add information to augment the reality you see: "Every time I use it, I feel like I'm living in the future," Page said. Soon even your smartphone will know when not to interrupt you or when to warn you if you will be late to a meeting based on an item in your calendar, where you are at that moment and that appointment's physical location.
Page was just looking a few years ahead. How much more crazy—and world-changing—do things become when you look over larger spans of time? In this issue's cover story, you will find out. Riffing off Scientific American's popular monthly column, 50, 100 & 150 Years Ago, we speculate about the future using those same time blocks, ultimately going up to a century and a half ahead. Among other things, you will learn about an airborne successor to those self-driving cars, three scenarios about what a century of climate change could bring and, 150 years from now, the possibility of mental interfaces with computers. Turn to page 26 for the start of the section. A companion feature by Cameron M. Smith, called "Starship Humanity," discusses our next steps for going beyond Earth as a species and how that could affect our evolution; the story starts on page 38.
In the category of science fiction that is here today, you can explore the feature article "Bionic Connections," by D. Kacy Cullen and Douglas H. Smith, on page 52. The authors describe efforts to connect prosthetic arms and legs directly to the nervous system. The technology would let the brain sense the limbs and control them—creating artificial limbs that would feel and move like real ones. At this point in development, the interface involves laboratory-grown nerve fibers and electricity-conducting polymers. But the potential for more is clear. In upcoming years, who knows?

"You have been tested under fire and you've aced every one of those tests," said Lt. Gen. Bruce Litchfield who is the Commander of the Air Force Sustainment Center.
Kolbe's leadership will likely take Hill Air Force Base through down sizing as President Obama cuts $500 billion in military spending over the next ten years.
She has a 22 year of experience in the Air Force serving in Europe, the Pacific, and in Iraq two different times.
Her decisions will impact 24,000 employees and repairs on our nation's defense tools including F 16's, F 22's, F 35's and C 130's, but does it matter that the new commander is female?
"The fact that their females is exciting however, I see them as airmen leaders," said Airmen, Liz Cloyd.
"I think it opens the doors wide for females and it allows us to have someone to look up to as a female officer," said Airmen, Krystal Labonte (women are called air men in the Air Force).
The men on the base who talked with ABC 4 were quick to embrace a female leader.
"Women they offer a softer side and sometimes a more rigorous side. I think they are as capable as any man," said airmen, Eric Bornemeier.
Kolbe will command Hill Air Force Base for at least one and a half years.
Colonel Sarah F. Zabel stepped down as commander. She was highly praised for her service and told that the Base is better off now than when she took command.

Jon Stewart returned from vacation this Tuesday night and responded to the article he read at the Huffington Post where Fox News chief Roger Ailes went after Stewart for admitting he's a "Socialist" and wouldn't do well without Fox. What we got in response was Stewart doing a really good job of explaining why being called a Socialist should not be a pejorative.
As far as not having enough material for his show if Fox did not exist, I'm sure Fox existing makes his job as a comedian easier, but as long as we've got wingnut politicians who are on the air either at the other networks or on C-SPAN spouting nonsense from the House or Senate floor, I don't think Stewart is in danger of running out of new material that's ripe for mockery any time soon.
After having a bit of fun with his "scenario" about what actually happened during that meeting with Ailes, Stewart went on to explain just what he meant by his remarks and what he considers "Socialism" such as protecting things like Social Security and Medicare.
He also took some shots at Republicans for pretending the health care law, or "Obamacare" is that dreaded "s- word", Socialism:

Religious Studies (REL)
Associate Professor Stratton; Assistant Professor Blanchard; Instructor Wise.
Religious Studies examines the way a person or community makes sense out of life (world views) and the way a person or community acts out and lives in a world view (practices). The study of religion includes (1) exploration of the nature and meaning of the religious dimensions of human experience; (2) study of the major traditions which remember and transmit religious experience and expressions; (3) encouragement of an inquisitive, analytical and open approach to multiple religious perspectives; and (4) exploration of the ethical frameworks in various religious perspectives.
Many graduates of Alma's Religious Studies program have continued their studies in graduate schools or seminaries. Others have entered church work, chaplaincies, teaching, social work agencies, personnel offices, communications, journalism, law and business or have volunteered for service in VISTA and the Peace Corps.
Major Requirements
- Thirty-six credits in Religious Studies including REL 103, 400 and 500 (senior thesis and oral examination).
- Remaining program of study will be constructed on an individual basis in consultation with members of the department.
- Foreign language study (either ancient or modern, depending on the student's academic interests) is strongly encouraged for all majors.
Minor Requirements
- Twenty-four credits in Religious Studies including REL 103 and 400.
- Remaining program of study will be constructed on an individual basis in consultation with members of the Department.

The Zetas -- headquartered in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, directly across the border from Laredo, Texas -- make up Mexico's largest drug cartel in terms of territory. The group has operations in 11 Mexican states.
Another reputed Zetas leader, Ivan Velazquez Caballero, alias "El Taliban," was captured last month.
Lazcano, 37, joined the Mexican armed forces in 1991 and was part of its elite airborne special forces group, dedicated to battling drug cartels.
Soon after, Lazcano and several other special forces members were recruited by the Gulf cartel to create its enforcement arm, Los Zetas.
In ensuing years, the Zetas split into a major drug trafficking organization and have since branched out into extortion, kidnapping and human smuggling.
The cartel is in the midst of a bloody turf war with its former employer, the Gulf cartel, and also with the Sinaloa cartel. The fight for access to lucrative smuggling routes in northern and central Mexico has left thousands of civilians dead.
The violence is particularly acute in three northeastern states that are some of the Zetas' strongest-held territory: Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
In 2010, the bodies of 72 migrants from Central and South America were discovered at a ranch in Tamaulipas state. The Zetas have been blamed for the mass graves and for the deaths of the migrants.
The cartel also is blamed for setting a fire at a casino in Monterrey that killed 52 people.
In May, authorities found 49 decapitated and dismembered bodies along a highway in Nuevo Leon. The orders to commit the grisly crime allegedly came from Lazcano, who originally wanted the bodies to be left in a town's central square. In banners purportedly hung by the cartel, the group denied involvement.
Mexican officials have said that more than 47,500 people have been killed in drug-related violence since Calderon began his crackdown on cartels in December 2006. Some groups say the number is much higher.

About this wiki
Note that references here to old Sun web pages may no longer be valid following the Oracle takeover. In particular, gridengine.sunsource.net no longer exists. There are currently three sites with Grid Engine source repositories derived from the sunsource one, and other material:
- Univa public repository (apparently dead)
- Son of Grid Engine (a large superset of Univa's repo and the only public issue tracker) and Howtos etc
- Open Grid Scheduler
The core Grid Engine websites are:
This wiki server (and the related http://gridengine.info blog) has been set up by members of the Grid Engine user community as a way of collecting and distributing usage, configuration, tips and HOWTO information in a fast and democratic way. We don't want to reinvent the wheel or waste time so wherever there are better online resources available, this Wiki will simply link out to them.
The best place to get help with Grid Engine related issues is the users mailing list.
Grid Computing & Grid Engine Overview
This is not the place for an academic dissertation or even a management-friendly summary of "grid" or "cluster" computing. If you are just starting out learning about clusters you may want to check out sites like http://www.clustermonkey.net. Some good intro-level information on Grid Engine and it's capabilities can be found here:
- Chapter 1 of the 'N1 Grid Engine Users Guide'
- Introduction to the Cluster Grid - Part 1 (August 2002) (Sun BluePrint PDF)
Grid Engine is software that facilitates "distributed resource management" (DRM) -- other similar free software packages include Portable Batch System, Torque, SLURM, OAR and Lava, but they lack scheduling features and/or scalability in comparison. Far more than just simple load-balancing tools or batch scheduling mechanisms, DRM software typically provides the following key features across large sets of distributed resources:
- Policy based allocation of distributed resources (CPU time, software licenses, etc.)
- Batch queuing & scheduling
- Support diverse server hardware, OS and architectures
- Load balancing & remote job execution
- Detailed job accounting statistics
- Fine-grained user specifiable resources
- Suspend/resume/migrate jobs
- Tools for reporting Job/Host/Cluster status
- Job Arrays
- Integration & control of parallel jobs
Is Grid Engine commercial or open source software?
Both. Sun Microsystems sponsors development of the freely available and open source Grid Engine product hosted at http://gridengine.sunsource.net. The software found on the http://gridengine.sunsource.net site is the free "open source" version and "Sun Grid Engine 6 (SGE)" can be found at http://www.sun.com/sge/.
Sun takes the open source code base in-house and offers it for sale as a formally supported enterprise distributed computing product. There is no functional difference between the what's available in the open source source tree and the commercial versions. The commercial version differs from the free version in the following key ways:
- Additional QC/QA testing done internally by Sun
- Localization to non-English languages
- Global support & professional services
- Starting with 6.2u3, some features are included in the Sun Grid Engine product that are not included in the Grid Engine open source courtesy binaries, even though those features are in the Grid Engine open source source tree.
The product documentation for the Sun Grid Engine product at http://wikis.sun.com/display/gridengine62u3/Home also serves as the documentation for Grid Engine open source project. The Grid Engine open source project does not have its own separate set of documentation (since there is functionally no difference). Similarly, the online man pages for the Grid Engine open source project at http://gridengine.sunsource.net/nonav/source/browse/~checkout~/gridengine/doc/htmlman/manuals.html?pathrev=V62u3_TAG also serve as the online man pages for the Sun Grid Engine product. The Sun Grid Engine product documentation does not include its own copy of the man pages and instead references the open source site (again, because there is functionally no difference).
Starting with 6.2u3, the Sun Grid Engine product is no longer available for unlimited free product use. After the 30-day trial has expired, you must purchase a license to legally continue using the product. If you do not intend to purchase the product, then the Grid Engine open source courtesy binaries are a better choice. If you want or need functionality not included in the courtesy binaries, you can download the Grid Engine source code and build it yourself. Instructions can be found at http://gridengine.sunsource.net/nonav/source/browse/~checkout~/gridengine/source/README.BUILD (though they might be a little out of date). You can also seek help on the users mailing list.
Grid Engine 5.x "Standard" vs. "Enterprise" Editions
Prior to the release of Grid Engine 6 in 2004, there were two different "flavors" of Grid Engine offered by Sun Microsystems. The "standard" edition was a Sun software product made available for free to any user or institution. The "Enterprise Edition" was available from Sun at additional cost. The only difference between the two offerings was the number of scheduling policy types supported. The standard edition generally supported only a "first-in, first-out" FIFO type scheduling policy along with a simple user-sort scheduling mechanism. The Enterprise Edition supported FIFO scheduling in addition to several other more flexible policy based scheduling mechanisms. Interestingly enough, the codebase and binaries for both flavors are 100% the same. The difference between "standard" and "enterprise edition" is triggered by a simple flag passed via an installation script. During the time that Sun Microsystems was offering two different types of "Sun Grid Engine", the open source site was offering both flavors of "Grid Engine" for free.
"Sun N1 Grid Engine 6" vs. "Grid Engine 6"
When Grid Engine 6 was first released, Chris Dagdigian wrote a simple whitepaper entitled Understanding the differences between Grid Engine 5.3, 6.0 and Sun N1 Grid Engine 6 (N1GE) - while semi dated it provides a good overview of the differences.
Major project news and milestones
- 2005
- Further complicating the interesting relationship between the Sun branded and open source versions of Grid Engine, Sun made a surprise announcement in December 2005 where the company announced that (among many other software products), the full Sun N1 software stack including N1 Grid Engine would now be available for "free". More information on this announcement can be found online: http://gridengine.info/articles/2005/12/01/sun-n1-grid-engine-is-now-free
- 2006
- Another major change for Grid Engine occurred when Sun announced at the Supercomputing 2006 conference that all of their commercial product add-ons for Grid Engine (ARCo and Windows client support) would be integrated with the open source Grid Engine codebase.

Radio, Television, Film
Alessandra Medeiros is a junior video and television student from Brazil who came to Hofstra with the hopes of not only enhancing her education, but also taking what she has learned back to Brazil to enhance her family's education as well.
What was your thought process when you were considering leaving Brazil to come to the United States to study?
A friend of mine used to go to Hofstra, and that was when I first heard about the University. She was always saying good things about her academic life, but I never thought I would have that opportunity. The best surprise I ever received was when I was accepted at Hofstra with an academic scholarship.
What are some of the opportunities you were given at Hofstra that you think would not be available for you in Brazil?
In Brazil, a regular class is about five or six credits, but it is a lot of literature. Students are in school much longer periods than at Hofstra, but most of the time is spent studying and reading. After my first week of class at Hofstra, I was already in the studio editing a radio assignment. The opportunities to do assignments, make mistakes, learn from them, and have someone available to answer questions are learning techniques that would not have been available to me in Brazil.
What do you enjoy most about your studies?
The spontaneity of television is what I enjoy most about my major. In one semester we can go from mute, black and white to surround sound or HDTV. You can never know everything about television because there is a new development in the industry almost every day.
Was this the academic and career path you always intended to pursue?
My father has worked in television since I was born. He has the craziest work schedule, which is something I originally didn't want for myself. When I graduated from high school in Brazil, I pursued teaching, which was too boring for me. Now I am here studying the same thing that has created the insanity in my father's life. I guess it is in the blood.
What was some of the best advice you have received from a professor?
I guess this advice relates to life and academics: "Always do more than you are asked to do!"
What have been some of your best memories while attending Hofstra?
Just being here is an amazing memory! My whole experience of being a student at a reputable university is a memory I will take with me forever.
What advice would you give to entering international students?
Use all the resources Hofstra makes available and interact with people as much as possible. Don't try to make friends only with students from your native country, and be involved with student clubs and organizations on campus.

Something you could try as an experiment - start with just one outcome you'd like to mark off as "done".
Start with a single sheet of paper and dump every idea, phrase, thought, etc. about this one single thing out of your mind and onto this page. Go for wild success of "complete". Do you have all the data required to move forward? Do you have all the questions or concerns noted? Make the big list on this single thing.
This page is now your Action Support.
Next, take a second page write the successful outcome of this one thing and label the page "Projects". When can you really mark this thing off as "done"?
Then, take a third page and write one (ONE) next physical, visible action to move the thing forward on a third page called "Next Actions" or use the name of a context - e.g. "Computer". Make sure it's the very next thing even if it's, "Open Google re: Project XYZ, search the web for ideas ..."
In my mind those three pieces of paper now constitute a GTD system.
The rest is adding item #2, #3, etc. Add a Someday/Maybe, Calendar, Reference files and a labeler as you go.
How did you capture that thought?
Inability is an abstract thing involving comparison with alternate universes; it cannot be experienced.
