Introduction

Sun Grid Engine (SGE) is a grid-based resource management software developed by Sun. It receives jobs submitted by users and uses resource management policies to schedule jobs to run on appropriate systems in the grid. Users can submit batch, interactive, and parallel jobs to the grid. It is an advanced resource management tool used to manage different types of distributed computing environments.

The SGE software consists of three modules: sge_qmaster, sge_schedd, and sge_execd. The servers in the cluster are classified into the master hosts, administration hosts, execution hosts, and submission hosts, depending on the module running on them.
