Maui Cluster Scheduler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maui Cluster Scheduler is an open source job scheduler for use on clusters and supercomputers. Maui is capable of supporting multiple scheduling policies, dynamic priorities, reservations, and fairshare capabilities.

It improves the manageability and efficiency of machines ranging from clusters of a few processors to multi-teraflops supercomputers.

[edit] Development and support

Maui was developed during the mid-90s. It has been made possible by the support of Cluster Resources, Inc. and the contributions of many individuals and sites including the U.S. Department of Energy, PNNL, the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of Utah (CHPC), Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), University of Southern California (USC), SDSC, MHPCC, BYU, NCSA, and many others. It may be downloaded, modified and redistributed.

Maui Cluster Scheduler is currently maintained and supported by Cluster Resources, Inc., which also sells a commercial derivative of Maui which they call Moab Cluster Suite.
