Comparison of cluster software

Comparison of cluster software

The following tables compare general and technical information for notable computer cluster software. This article is not all-inclusive and may become out of date quickly. Those software can be grossly separated in 4 categories: Job scheduler, nodes management, nodes installation, integraded stack(all the above).

Table Explanation

  • Software: The name of the application that is described
  • SMP aware:
    • basic: hard split into multiple virtual host
    • basic+: hard split into multiple virtual host with some minimal/incomplete communication between virtual host on the same computer
    • dynamic: split the resource of the computer(CPU/Ram) on demand
