Contents of This Software Package

The Grid Engine 6 Update 4 software distribution is made up of the following components:

  • The grid engine software binary packages, including all daemons, client programs, and libraries. You must load and install one binary package for each operating system architecture you intend to use.

  • The grid engine software common package, containing install scripts, and other architecture-independent utilities.

  • The grid engine software documentation package, containing these release notes, the installation guide, user guide and administration guide in PDF and HTML formats.
