The following individuals and organisations have kindly
stated that they use Generic NQS:
"We are Alberto D'Ambrosio and Sandra Parlati, from Gran
Sasso National Laboratory - INFN Italy. We are running generic NQS at our site and we
would like to give testimonial of our experience with NQS.
"Currently 4 Alpha machines (DEC Unix 4.0d) are part of
our pool.
"We installed NQS about two months ago ad currently
about 10 people use it; we expect this number will increase in the next months.
"One problem we encountered during NQS installation is
the well-known bug about the load-balancing mechanism on faster Alphas: 2 of 4 machines on
our pool don't have pipe queues.
"Many NQS users have their home directories in AFS
filesystem and they had to move the .login from $HOME to $HOME/public to make it
accessible to NQS.
"As a conclusion, we would like to say that NQS in not
the only batch system on our DECunix machines, since we are also running Condor (from
Wisconsin-Madison University)."
The Regional Computer Centre has approx. 30 users using
Generic NQS on IRIX 5, IRIX 6 and Linux machines.
"It is very important that the source code is available.
So we could change some features we did not like, e.g. we disabled the "-p"
option (intra queue priority) of the qsub command."
The institute has approx. 50 users using Generic NQS on AIX,
HP-UX and Linux machines.
These organisations have approx. 10 users using Generic NQS
on Linux and IRIX machines.
This company has approx. 80 users running Generic NQS on
approx. 80 Solaris and SunOS machines.
"We use GNQS in an electronic CAD environment using
tools from the major EDA vendors. For this to work, we had to configure machines in a
similar way and to purchase floating licenses.
"Careful setup of the GNQS and user education has led to GNQS becoming very
succesful in getting the most from our CPU resource."
Web Eclat has installed Generic NQS for a client who has
approx. 20 users running Generic NQS on Digital UNIX.
