I'm happy to announce Altair Grid Engine (AGE) 2024.1.0 (8.9.0) which is now ready for download from Altair Marketplace:

https://altairone.com/Marketplace?queryText=grid+engine

Major new functionality in this release:

  • Cgroups v2 support
    • Latest Linux distributions such as RHEL/Rocky/Alma 9 and Ubuntu 22.04 enable the Cgroups v2 controller by default (Cgroups v1 still can be enabled on those systems). AGE automatically detects what Cgroups controller is enabled and enforces the respective Cgroups settings automatically for the right Cgroups version.
  • Systemd startup script support re-enabled
    • The default systemd startup scripts are now re-enabled on Linux distributions which use systemd by default. Legacy init.d scripts still can be used.
  • Docker registry authentication support
    • sites using a Docker registry which require authentication now can configure authenticated access for one or multiple Docker registries for their batch and interactive Docker jobs submitted to AGE.
