August 30, 2006 (Press Release) --
PROVO, Utah – Cluster Resources, Inc., a leading provider of cluster, grid, and utility computing software, announced today that TORQUE* Resource Manager passed a new milestone in its continued success, reaching 50,000 downloads since August 2005.
Terascale Open-Source Resource and QUEue Manager, more commonly known as TORQUE, is a resource manager derived from the original Open PBS project that provides control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes. With more than 2,500 patches and enhancements since its release in 2004, TORQUE has incorporated significant advances in the areas of scalability, flexibility, and feature extensions.
“We are pleased to be part of the TORQUE community project that continues to provide a leading resource management solution for Top 500 systems and thousands of other clusters worldwide,” said David Jackson, CTO of Cluster Resources. “Combining professional development, testing, support, and documentation with the extensive support and development contributions of the TORQUE community, has proven to be highly successful.”
Over the past six months, TORQUE downloads have grown almost exponentially. Cluster Resources recorded approximately 33,000 total downloads from February through July, nearly double the previous six-month’s total. TORQUE is also included for download in most of the major cluster building kits, including ROCKS, OSCAR, xCAT, and others. When including these kits, downloads over the past year are estimated at more than 100,000.
Cluster Resources – providers of the Moab family of workload management products – professionally maintains and develops TORQUE, incorporating hundreds of feature extension patches from NCSA, OSC, USC, U.S. Department of Energy, Sandia, PNNL, U of Buffalo, Teragrid and many other leading HPC institutions and individuals in the user community. Cluster Resources also supports and maintains the TORQUE documentation and user lists, and provides current versions and patches at http://www.clusterresources.com/torque.
Through TORQUE’s user lists and documentation WIKI, community members are able to submit or view patches, suggestions, or questions in the archive, and contribute new information to the user manual, providing an active forum for the development of new ideas.
Garrick Staples, a lead developer of TORQUE, attributes the continued development of TORQUE to the collaborative efforts of the user community and Cluster Resources.
“Since many TORQUE users are the administrators of their own clusters, their needs often drive the competitive edge of our development focus,” Staples said. “TORQUE also has the strong backing of Cluster Resources, through whose leadership, the collective wisdom and requirements of thousands of sites worldwide are being plugged directly into TORQUE.”
