NAME
     Grid Engine - a facility for executing UNIX jobs  on  remote
     machines

DESCRIPTION
     Grid Engine is a facility  for  executing  UNIX  batch  jobs
     (shell  scripts) on a pool of cooperating workstations. Jobs
     are queued and executed remotely on  workstations  at  times
     when  those  workstations  would  otherwise  be idle or only
     lightly loaded. The  work  load  is  distributed  among  the
     workstations in the cluster corresponding to the load situa-
     tion of each machine and the resource  requirements  of  the
     jobs.

     User level checkpointing programs are supported and a  tran-
     sparent    checkpointing    mechanism   is   provided   (see
     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/sge_ckpt.html">sge_ckpt(1)</A></B>).  Checkpointing jobs migrate  from  workstation
     to  workstation without user intervention on load demand. In
     addition to batch jobs, interactive jobs and  parallel  jobs
     can also be submitted to Grid Engine.

USER INTERFACE
     The Grid Engine user interface consists of several  programs
     which are described separately.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qacct.html">qacct(1)</A></B>
          <I>qacct</I> extracts arbitrary  accounting  information  from
          the cluster logfile.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qalter.html">qalter(1)</A></B>
          <I>qalter</I> changes the characteristics of already submitted
          jobs.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qconf.html">qconf(1)</A></B>
          <I>qconf</I> provides  the  user  interface  for  configuring,
          modifying, deleting and querying queues and the cluster
          configuration.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qdel.html">qdel(1)</A></B>
          <I>qdel</I> provides the means for a user/operator/manager  to
          cancel jobs.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qhold.html">qhold(1)</A></B>
          <I>qhold</I> holds back submitted jobs from execution.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qhost.html">qhost(1)</A></B>
          <I>qhost</I> displays status  information  about  Grid  Engine
          execution hosts.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qlogin.html">qlogin(1)</A></B>
          <I>qlogin</I> initiates a telnet or similar login session with
          automatic selection of a low loaded and suitable host.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qmake.html">qmake(1)</A></B>
          <I>qmake</I> is a  replacement  for  the  standard  Unix  <I>make</I>
          facility.  It extends make by its ability to distribute
          independent make steps across  a  cluster  of  suitable
          machines.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qmod.html">qmod(1)</A></B>
          <I>qmod</I> allows the owner(s) of  a  queue  to  suspend  and
          enable  all  queues  associated  with  his machine (all
          currently active processes in this queue are also  sig-
          naled)  or  to suspend and enable jobs executing in the
          owned queues.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qmon.html">qmon(1)</A></B>
          <I>qmon</I> provides a Motif command  interface  to  all  Grid
          Engine functions. The status of all or a private selec-
          tion of the configured queues is displayed  on-line  by
          changing colors at corresponding queue icons.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qresub.html">qresub(1)</A></B>
          <I>qresub</I> creates new jobs by copying currently running or
          pending jobs.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qrls.html">qrls(1)</A></B>
          <I>qrls</I> releases holds from jobs  previously  assigned  to
          them e.g. via <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qhold.html">qhold(1)</A></B> (see above).

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qrsh.html">qrsh(1)</A></B>
          <I>qrsh</I> can be used for various purposes such as providing
          remote  execution  of interactive applications via Grid
          Engine comparable to the standard Unix facility rsh, to
          allow for the submission of batch jobs which, upon exe-
          cution, support terminal I/O (standard/error output and
          standard  input)  and  terminal  control,  to provide a
          batch job submission client which remains active  until
          the  job  has finished or to allow for the Grid Engine-
          controlled remote execution of the  tasks  of  parallel
          jobs.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qselect.html">qselect(1)</A></B>
          <I>qselect</I> prints a list of queue names  corresponding  to
          specified  selection criteria. The output of <I>qselect</I> is
          usually fed into other Grid Engine  commands  to  apply
          actions on a selected set of queues.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qsh.html">qsh(1)</A></B>
          <I>qsh</I> opens an interactive shell (in an  <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/xterm.html">xterm(1)</A></B>)  on  a
          low  loaded  host.  Any kind of interactive jobs can be
          run in this shell.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qstat.html">qstat(1)</A></B>
          <I>qstat</I> provides a status listing of all jobs and  queues
          associated with the cluster.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qtcsh.html">qtcsh(1)</A></B>
          <I>qtcsh</I> is a fully compatible replacement for the  widely
          known  and  used Unix C-Shell (<I>csh</I>) derivative <I>tcsh</I>. It
          provides a command-shell with the  extension  of  tran-
          sparently distributing execution of designated applica-
          tions to suitable and lightly  loaded  hosts  via  Grid
          Engine.

     <B><A HREF="../htmlman1/qsub.html">qsub(1)</A></B>
          <I>qsub</I> is the user interface for submitting a job to Grid
          Engine.
