Anyony has dmake and Sun Grid Engine experience ?

Here is my another try to ask for the sharing of using dmake with SGE experience.
Did anyone successfully using dmake+SGE to see compilation performance gain ?
My orginal post at
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=8298&#8298
Thanks for your time and sharing
tj

We (development team) have created performance tests to compare
build performance in parallel, distributed and grid modes. Unfortunately
our grid is very small - it consists of 1 system, and in this case dmake
works twice faster in distributed mode, than in grid mode. But there is
no limitation in our implementation of grid mode in dmake, so if a build
has enough independent targets, and there is a large grid system - it will
definitely win.
Thanks,

  • Queries with Sun Grid Engine

    Hi,
    Has anyone worked with the Sun Grid Engine (SGE)?
    I had some queries regarding SGE
    1. Does SGE support some kind of Autoscaling?
    I know that there are commands to add Nodes to Grid dynamically, but does this require the Grid to restart after adding the node?
    2. how do we interact with the Queue? Is it possible using Galaxy API? or using SGE API?

    2. how do we interact with the Queue? Is it possible using Galaxy API? or using SGE API?There is one utility in Sun Studio tools, that interacts with SGE. It is "dmake":
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12u1/mr/READMEs/dmake.html
    It can build targets in "serial", "parallel", "distributed" and "grid" (SGE) modes.
    It is using SGE API to submit tasks to the SGE.
    Thanks.

  • Setting up a grid using SGE(sun Grid engine)

    Hi everyone,
    We are trying to set up a grid in our university.We are taking the help of SGE(sun grid engine).We have successfully installed the master host. But we are encountering a problem when trying to install
    the execution host.
    When we type #qconf -sh
    the following output is occuring
    error: commlib error: can't connect to service (No route to host)
    ERROR: unable to contact qmaster using port 6444 on host
    "sun.localdomain"
    We have added the execution host's name to the submit list on the master host.We've also started the sge_master daemon process on the master host. .
    Both the systems are pinging correctly.
    We have assigned sge_qmaster the port number 6444 in /etc/services
    file on both the systems(master and execution host). The name of
    the master being sun.localdomain and the name of the execution host is
    sunq.localdomain.
    Please provide a solution to this problem,so that i can complete the installation of execution host.

    ok, i have benn faced this kind problem.
    i show you some info, maybe can help you out.
    firstly, you need to change some setup files else. like hosts; hosts.equiv; profile; rhosts; and services.
    after then, you need to add execute host name to the administrative host list. "./qconf -ah".
    and then restart you server head and nodes ( for make sure something effect).
    the userful information, you can found in http://www.sun.com/software/gridware/

    This forum is about Sun Studio program development tools. Sun Studio is program development suite for creating and analyzing programs written in C, C++, and Fortran. Since your question is about Sun Grid Engine, a product unrelated to Sun Studio, you are unlikely to find answers here.
    Normally I direct people to the Open Solaris forums, but SGE is not part of Solaris; it is a separate product.
    A good place to start is the main product page:
    [http://www.oracle.com/us/products/tools/oracle-grid-engine-075549.html]
    Also try [http://blogs.sun.com] Search for "sun grid engine" to find bloggers who specialize in SGE.

    Hi,
    I am a Graduate student in Comp Science. for my parallel class I am looking at interfacing sun Grid engine with Oracle 10g services.But I could not find ant API in oracle for me to use globus or any other oracle native API to call the job scheduling ( or even job submitting) functions in 10g. could any one please enligten me on this.I saw a marketing paper on Oracle globus development kit.But could not find any technical documentation on that regard.

    Hi Sajindra,
    Check out the Unified scheduler feature of Oracle Database 10g. Unified scheduler allows you to submit jobs that can be both database jobs or non-database jobs (i.e. executed outside the database).

    Hi,

Would anyone be able to tell me what live update is and how I would run/reinstall it? - be grateful for any help!!!
    Thankyou

    It would be a great idea to uninstall Norton - you don't need it and it has a pretty poor reputation for mucking up otherwise healthy Macs.
    Have a look at this User Tip from klaus1: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
    To uninstall Norton:
    https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
    Edit: To see whether you actually have Norton installed launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. If it's installed you'll likely see some Norton entries there.
    Also, in System Preferences>Users & Groups or Accounts, depending on OS)>Login Items, it might be listed.

  • Sun BPEL engine sets wrong Content-Type on calling an external web service

    I have a WSDL for an external web service (which as it happens is running in Websphere locally) and have implemented it as a
    partnerlink on a BPEL diagram in an SOA composite project. The binding style is Document and if you use SOAPUI to test it it
    works fine. Tracing on the web service's server shows the SOAP request coming in. It has a content-type of text/xml, as expected. If I do a JUnit test from NetBeans based on this WSDL alone it also works - same result. BUT if I do
    a full test and call my BPEL process the invocation of this service from BPEL fails.
    On the Test result you see
    BPCOR-6135:A fault was not handled in the process scope; Fault Name is http://www.sun.com/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable/SUNExtension/ErrorHandling}systemFault;
    (This happens because I did not handle the fault in the BPEL.)
    On the trace I see it now has Content-type of application/xop+xml. Why would the Sun BPEL engine change this? I just
    accepted the usual defaults when I created the PartnerLink and the Invoke. Anyway, the format of the request doesn't match what the WS server expects, so it fails.
    As far as I'm aware I'm just using SOAP1.1. This is NetBeans 6.5 with Glassfish 2.1. I tried with NetBeans 6.7 and it got worse, not better. I would certainly appreciate any advice?
    Thanks

    Perhaps when the BPEL file based process calls the WSDL file to execute,their message communication is not correct.
    the head part in the WSDL file should be manually set to "text/xml", or the IDE or Server will use the default value;
    for example as follow:
    SOAPUI tool would use the default value "text/xml" to request.(depends the tool support).
    NetBeans tool would use the default value "text/xml" to request.
    when you do a full test and you do not set the head "context-type" value ,the WSDL file use the server's default head
    value"application/xop-xml" so that return the contents under the control of the server's default value.
    I hope these will be useful for you.

  • IPhone 4 and AT&T shopping experience

    My iPhone 4 and AT&T shopping experience
    Some of you will most likely think I am crazy but I was up on Monday night thinking about purchasing my new iPhone 4. Sometimes I get excited over the little things in life but I really enjoy my iPhone. I was scrolling all the news sites, reading all the articles about the new iPhone 4 and iOS 4. I ended up going to bed sometime around 2:00 a.m.
    Tuesday started off with a text from my boss who is also a iPhone fan. He was telling me at 7:30 a.m. that he had completed his iPhone purchase and that the AT&T system was very slow. He also told me that he decided to have the phone shipped to his house. At this point I am mad because my boss ordered his iPhone before me. I knew I should have gone over the night before and disconnected his internet.
    I started my iPhone purchasing adventure around 9:00 a.m. only to find out that AT&T was down. I tried the Apple website and was shot down. I am not sure the exact time but about 1 ½ hours later AT&T was up and running again. I was getting excited again. I logged in and selected my new iPhone and was proceeding to check out when I got an error message. AT&T website was telling me I couldn’t ship my new iPhone to a PO Box and that I needed to update my address before I could proceed with my order. After thing for a long time about what to do next. I decided that going down to the AT&T store was my best choice.
    That drive as fast. The local AT&T store is not too far away. I walk in the door and was greeting by a young lady that put my name on the list. To my surprise I only waited about 10 minutes to see someone. I told the man that I was here to purchase two iPhone 4 today. One for me and one for a friend. I was surprising my friend with a new iPhone. The Man told me he would need to do the purchases separately. About 20 minutes later I walked out the door with two receipts for my two new iPhones. I was very excited. This was the first time I saved up the money and was able to pre-order my iPhone. I had planned for the last 4 months and I was going to be like all the other crazy people out there.
    I called all my iPhone friends and asked them if they got there order in. I even encouraged a few to get the new iPhone explaining to them how awesome the new camera feature was. For me, I was buying the iPhone for the camera. It is amazing how may picture and videos I take now. All of them on my iPhone. The new camera will be awesome.
    Fathers day was the day. This will be one of those fathers day I wont forget for a long time. I was at home, the kids were swimming and I was checking my email. I got 2 emails from AT&T. Both told me that my orders were canceled and I needed to contact AT&T for further assistance. At this point I almost fell out of my chair. After composing myself, I proceeded to call AT&T in hopes that I could get this issue resolved. I was on the phone for a very long time. The Lady I spoke to told me that there was nothing she could do. She told me my order was canceled because I used a DEBIT card to do my preorder. I was very frustrated at this point because no one told me I couldn’t use a DEBIT card. She called the store and and the store wasn’t very helpful. The store told her that everyone was told they required a Standard Credit Card for all preorders. You know, the ones that charge you interest and that you can never seem to pay off. Besides that fact that I don’t have any Credit cards, because I was a good by and got rid of them all 15 years ago. I used the only cards I have and own, my DEBIT card. I have a two checking accounts and I put my iPhone money in the second account so that the money would be there for the entire process. My phone call was over and I was told to take up the issue with the store manager. She told me there was nothing she could do for me. Very frustrated at this point. I asked to speak to a supervisor. A few minutes later I was transfer to a supervisor, I explained my issue and he told me there was nothing he could do.
    At this point my fathers day was ruined and my iPhone 4 dreams were over. The only thing I could do was start the entire process over or call the store manager on Monday.
    On Monday afternoon I called the local AT&T store (Turlock, CA). I asked to speak to the store manager (Mathew). I told him my story and he proceeded to look up my order. He again, reassured me that he was telling all his employees every ten minutes that they are not taking DEBIT cards. After explaining to him that his efforts seemed to have failed because I was able to purchase not one but two iPhones using my DEBIT card. I also explained to him that the failure in the process was his store. His store was the reason my order was canceled and I needed him to do something about it. The more I talked to him the more I felt he didn’t care about my issues. He was coming a crossed as very cold and had no solutions for me. The more I prodded him the less and less he cared. Finally, he told me he would make a few phone calls and would see what he could do for me. He told me he would call me back on Wednesday.
    At this point, I think I will FRAME my two receipts and hang them on the wall so I can be reminded everyday how AT&T don’t care about its customers. I will also print my two cancelation letters and include them in the frame. It is sad how the large corporations don’t seem to care anymore about the individual. They only seems to are about the 600,000 iPhones that were sold that day.
    At this point I am very sad and upset. It is amazing how I planned for the last Four months to purchase my phone on preorder day so that I could be like all the other crazy iPhone fans out there and get my new phone on the first day. I am starting to realized that there is not going to be an iPhone for me on Thursday.
    Today is Wednesday and I am dreaming that the local AT&T (Turlock, CA) manager will give me a call with good news. I was hoping he would tell me that he was going to set a phone aside for me because of the horrible experience I have had so far. Most of the day has come and gone. So I picked up the phone about 2:00 pm and call the AT&T store, I asked to speak to Mathew. He proceeded to tell me that there was nothing he could do for me. Again, I was getting the feeling that he really didn’t care about my issues and concerns. I have hit a brick wall and my day was going down hill. I am surprised how my emotions were getting the best of me. I was surprised how not getting my iPhone would affect me. Come on, this is only a phone.
    My day just got worse. My two friends just sent me a test message saying they just got there iPhones in the mail. Come on, it is only Wednesday and they already have them. Now they are sending me all sorts of messages about how cool the new iPhone is and how excellent the new camera works. Bah humbug, I didn’t respond to any of them. I was so completely upset at this point. Again, I was amazed as to how much this whole ordeal has upset me.
    One last try, I called the AT&T customer service. The lady was very nice to me and told me that she would help me but I know it wasn’t going to end well. In the end on Wednesday afternoon, I was shot down again. I decided it was time to move on or find something else to do. So I went to the movies and watched “The Karate Kid”. After the movie was over, I went home and went to bed. I think I ended sleeping for 12 hours before I got up on Thursday for work. Sometime during my evening, I figured I would try to plan another order for a new iPhone. Even though I am ****** at AT&T, I still want an iPhone. To my amazement, they wont let me, they are experience technically difficulties.
    Thursday morning. Today is the big iPhone launch. Normally every morning I turn the TV on and watch the news in the morning while I get ready for work. Today, no TV. I didn’t want to hear about all the new iPhone excitement. I am having a very bitter day.
    I am having a very bitter day but I love Apple products. After getting to work, I took a few minutes to try and preorder my phone again. And again, AT&T was broken. When started this process on June 15. I had huge hopes and expectations to get my new iPhone on June 24. Today is the 24 and I will be very luck if I can get my new iPhone by July 15. I am not sure when or if I will bother to purchase a new iPhone. I am not sure if I even care anymore.
    I am still ****** and will be ****** for a long time to come. AT&T has shown its true side again. I am only one person and AT&T has millions of customers. Sometime you need to remember the small people out there.

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.

  • Does OS installed through boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?

    I am planning to buy new PC for my faculty needs and this time I am thinking to buy Apple laptop like Mac book Pro 13" or so ( I owe already IPhone and Ipad 2)
    To make final decision I need few information . These are:
    1. May I use Boot Camp or similar utility software to install Windows 7 OS next to OS X Lion, or use some kind of virtual box software to create virtual machines with diverse guest OS in them like Windows , Linux etc.?
    2. Does OS installed through Boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?
    3. May I use the same disk partitions to access to the files regardless if I am using Windows 7 or OS X Lion operating system?
    4. Is there full compatibility between Microsoft Office under OS X Lion and Windows 7 M. Office?
    5. What is general user experience with OS X Lion operating system comparing to Windows 7?

    1. Yes. You can install Windows 7 natively using Boot Camp Assistant or you can install Windows 7 in a virtual machine using Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox
    2. If installed using Boot Camp Assistant Windows 7 uses all your computer's resources just as OSx does. If installed using a VM Windows 7 will share the computer's resources with OSx.
    3. A Boot Camp partition is separate from the OSx partition. The VMs allow sharing of files across partitions since both OS are running at the same time.
    4. No, not 100%.
    5. Too broad a question. Be specific about what feature you are asking about or search the Internet for comparisons. I use both and find they both work well.

  • Solaris 9 and Sun ONE 6.1 SP5 open socket issue

    Hi
    We have recently migrated to Solaris 9 environment with Sun ONE 6.1 SP5 webserver (previously using Solaris 8 with Sun ONE 6.0).
    My problem is this that I have our product installed on Sun ONE webserver and every day I need to restart the virtual server running the application. Once the webserver has started and I do the
    netstat -a |grep "port" I see that the status for that particular socket is "LISTEN". Now after a while like the next day or something if I try to access the application through my browser I notice that I'm not able to go to application and when I do netstat -a: grep "port" there are two entries now one with "LISTEN" and the other with "ESTABLISHED" status. The request eventually times out.
    Anyone has a clue what could be going wrong..

    it is certifying / authenticating that the secured
    web site is owned by the genune party and the
    transactions with the party is doing through a
    encrypted format.
    Am i correct up to this???Correct, that is what SSL/certificates are for.
    >
    Then my dowt is that
    Is it possible to make my server SSL enabled with
    h out using any certificate ????( the documents you
    are given is telling about certificates)No it is not possible - the whole idea behind SSL communication is that it is based on TRUSTED secure communication. If a client can not check validity of server's certificate it is not trusted any more.
    It might not seem to be the case when you create a self-signed certificate, but it really is so. In case of a self signed certificate you(i.e your browser) trust yourself with whatever you do with your application on your webserver.
    After all can I install some certificates lateron ??
    If you really need SSL with your webserver you have to either create a self signed certificate, see this: http://sial.org/howto/openssl/self-signed/
    or request a test certificate from www.verisign.com or www.thawtee.com
