Univa has released Univa Grid Engine Version 8.1.4, with 46 new updates to the previous version. Univa Grid Engine, a widely deployed, distributed resource management software platform, has gained more than 525 updates since Univa took over the management of Grid Engine.
Of the 46 key features updates, the company states that the major improvements include extended memory usage metrics for multi-threaded applications, scheduler performance enhancements that ensure maximum number of jobs running in the cluster while improving system responsiveness, and an improved load collection tool for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors that ensures jobs run on the least loaded cores.
In addition, interactive Univa Grid Engine jobs can now set their memory affinity.
