[edit] Maui Cluster Scheduler
semi-spam article from Cluster Resources
This is part of a pile of spam left around by Cluster Resources, which had posted a now-deleted vanity article and also stuck spam links into numerous computer-related articles. Since this particular article is about an open source program it might have some tiny amount of merit. See also:
Related article: TORQUE Resource Manager, please comment on whether that should be deleted too.
- Neutral for now -- will probably change to "delete" but wonder what others have to say. Phr (talk) 08:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete spam. Just zis Guy you know? 11:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as nn although it's nice to know I can freely download it for my home supercomputer. Dlyons493 Talk 12:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Spam essay. Wikipedia is not an advertising service. --Xrblsnggt 19:37, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment this article doesn't have anything to do with home PC's but I do think that supercomputer software is an ok topic for the encyclopedia. A quick look around shows the program is not really nn. If I can find some appropriate parallel computing article to put the info, I may merge it there. I agree that the separate article shouldn't stay. -- Phr (talk) 21:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Maui is a recognized scheduler in the fields of cluster and parallel computing. I don't think there is any reason or precident to limit software articles on Wikipedia to only things applicable to low-end home PCs. -- Bovineone 04:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Note that related TORQUE article is prodded by me. Feel free to deprod or preferably (from my point of view) merge. Phr (talk) 00:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and NPOVize per Bovineone. —Ruud 14:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Bovineone, and update in line with WP:SOFTWARE and WP:NOT a soapbox. JonHarder 16:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete spam. Reviewing the history, the author(s) have made virtually no effort to add rigor to this article. This code base started as a wrapper for the IBM Loadleveler parallel job tool on MHPCC's RS6000/SP in the mid '90s. If the author(s) wanted to make this article worthwhile, they should consider adding architectual detail such as found in the docs for MHPCC's follow up effort, the Maui Scheduler - Molokini Edition. -- cmholm 20:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
