I don't know much details other than as an user. I have used lsf & qsub
among batch systems, and dirac & panda among grid applications (both are
based on gLite I think). I have to say, a regular batch system is
probably something more appropriate for first time experimenting.
Hope this helps,
Thanks. Yeah, I've done the batch thing. I was just wondering if there were
advantages to a grid setup. Back in the early 2000s, I tried to set up a Beowulf cluster
at work using old SGI boxes (remember SGI when it was the big thing?). After playing with
it for about a week or two, I decided that it was more work than it was worth.
Now it's 15 years later, and I sorta assumed with all this cloud stuff, linux grid
supercomputers, and virtualization that's developed, somebody out there must have
developed some more advanced-user-friendly tools...
