Configuring Grid Collectors

Introduction

The GRID Extension offers plug-ins and connectors for metering distributed grid computing environments, such as LSF (Load Sharing Facility), PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Sun Grid Engine, and TORQUE (Terascale Open-source Resource and Queue Manager). Use ComputeAnalyzer GRID to track issues, such as causes of failed and pending jobs, for improved grid analysis.
