As an alternative, you may also want to consider the [[META: A package for job farming | META]] software package developed by our staff, which has some important advantages over GLOST. In particular, with META the queue wait time may be significantly shorter than with GLOST, and META overheads are smaller (fewer wasted CPU cycles). In addition, META has a convenient mechanism for re-submitting all the computations that never ran or failed. Finally, unlike GLOST, META can be used for all kinds of jobs; serial, multi-threaded, MPI, GPU, or hybrid.
