# Son of Grid Engine

From ArchWiki

The Son of Grid Engine is a community project to continue Sun's old gridengine, which was a grid computing computer cluster software system (otherwise known as a batch-queuing system).

## Installation

Install the sgeAUR package for both qmaster and execution host.

## Configuration

### Qmaster host configuration

Use the `install_qmaster` script to do the qmaster host configuration.

    # cd /opt/sge && ./install_qmaster

You can then start/enable `sgemaster@your_sge_cell_name.service`

### Execution host configuration

Before the execution host configuration, you need to configure your execution host as an administrative host on the qmaster host.

    # source /opt/sge/your_sge_cell_name/common/settings.sh
    # qconf -ah your_execution_host_name

Then put the sge cell directory from the qmaster host, `/opt/sge/your_sge_cell_name`, under the same path on your execution host.

Now use the `install_execd` script to do the execution host configuration.

    # cd /opt/sge && ./install_execd

You can then start/enable `sgeexecd@your_sge_cell_name.service`

After configuration, you can remove your execution host from the administrative host list.

    # qconf -dh your_execution_host_name
