Integration with Grid Engine (GE)

Before Sun was acquired by Oracle, this job scheduler was an open source product, and it was known as Sun Grid Engine (SGE). Since the acquisition, the product has been renamed Oracle Grid Engine (OGE), and new versions are expected to be closed source versions. The Open Grid Scheduler project hosted on SourceForge plans to continue maintaining an open source version. Any of the versions may also be called Grid Engine (GE).

The Grid Engine scheduler is only supported on Linux. With GE, jobs may be submitted in any of the following ways:

• Using SGE commands (qsub, etc.) or the SGE gui (qmon)

• Using the generic scheduler GUI in local mode

• Using the generic scheduler GUI in service mode

The R14.5 release has been tested with the following versions of GE:

• 6.2u4

• 6.2u5

• 2011.11

ANSYS Electromagnetics products support Grid Engine (GE) for Serial analysis, Multi Processing and Distributed Analysis. Models with parametric sweeps can use Large Scale DSO. With GE, the ANSYS EM job doesn't require graphics. ANSYS EM job’s progress can be monitored through SGE commands or through the dialog opened through Tools>Job Management>Monitor Jobs....

Besides the command line interface, you can also use a Job Management user interface to submit jobs
