Advanced use of SGEEE
Using the perl API
- every aspect of the batch system is accessible through the perl API
- the perl API is accessible after use SGE; in perl scripts
- there is almost no documentation but a few sample scripts in /afs/ifh.de/user/f/friebel/public and in /afs/ifh.de/products/source/gridengine/source/experimental/perlgui
Using the load information reported by SGEEE
- each host reports a number of load values to the master host (qmaster)
- there is a default set of load parameters that are always reported
- further parameters can be reported by writing load sensors
- qhost is a simple interface to display that information
- a powerful monitoring system could be built around that feature, which is based on the "Performance Data Collection" (PDC) software from Instrumental Inc.
