OpenLava is described as 'Open source workload job scheduler for a cluster of computers.[1] OpenLava was derived from an early version of Platform LSF.[2] Its configuration file syntax, application program interface (API), and command-line interface (CLI) have been kept unchanged' and is an app. There are three alternatives to OpenLava for Linux, Mac and Windows. The best OpenLava alternative is GNU Parallel, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like OpenLava are HTCondor and IBM Spectrum LSF.
GNU parallel is a command-line driven utility for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems which allows the user to execute shell scripts or commands in parallel. GNU parallel is free software, written by Ole Tange in Perl.
HTCondor is an open-source high-throughput computing software framework for coarse-grained distributed parallelization of computationally intensive tasks.[1] It can be used to manage workload on a dedicated cluster of computers, or to farm out work to idle desktop computers –...
LSF Session Scheduler enables users to run large collections of short duration tasks within the allocation of a single LSF job using a job-level task scheduler that allocates resources for the job once, and reuses the allocated resources for each task.
