PoD 2.4

I am very glad to announce the release of PoD 2.4.

This version releases many important changes and among others, there is the main event, which is the first stable release of an Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) plug-in for PoD.
OGE is fully supported now in both PoD GUI and PoD CLI. OGE is a great RMS with a lot of sites using it. I think this PoD plug-in will help to convince many potential PoD customers to give our product a try ;)


The OGE plug-in has just joined a list of supported job manager's plug-ins.
PoD is now shipped with gLite, LSF, PBSPro/OpenPBS/Torque, SSH, and OGE plug-ins.

Highlights of this release
  • Support of Oracle Grid Engine. PoD is now shipped with the OGE plug-in.
  • A new schema of WNs' pre-compiled binaries handling.
  • PoD now a bit more smarter and more efficient, when a shared home file system is present on UIs and WNs.
  • The startup time of PoD jobs is notably improved.
  • Several security issues were fixed.
  • This version implements a better logging machinery for PoD workers.
  • The Job Manager plug-in system is slightly improved. It now makes it much easier to extend with new plug-ins and to support old ones.
  • Updated User's Manual.
