Teaching Grid Engine To Speak Mesos


The HPC and hyperscale camps do not always get along, but they are often trying to solve similar problems when it comes to application scheduling and resource management on clusters. With the hyperscalers, one might say that there is a tendency to reinvent some wheels that have already been put on the road in the HPC market. But that does not mean that products aimed at one segment cannot work in conjunction with those of the other segment to better manage clusters and their distributed applications. So it is with Univa grafting support for Mesos frameworks onto the popular Grid Engine cluster workload scheduler.

…eBay, PayPal, Groupon, Netflix, OpenTable, HubSpot, Salesforce.com, Vimeo, Conviva, and Best Buy are all running Mesos in production.
