All the cool kids are at the Supercomputing 2006 meeting this week. Among the flurry of vendor announcement and release news is the following notice from the Sun and the Grid Engine project:

In a nutshell, 2 modules that were previously only found in the commercial Sun N1 Grid Engine suite -- ARCO (reporting/analysis subsystem) and the code that allows for MS Windows systems to act as submit hosts and execution hosts, are being open sourced.

In addition there is mention of "Grid Engine Service Domain Management module" but other than a planned demo at SC06 there is not much more info available on it.

The full announcement is here:
