[HPCwire: Recent articles featuring high productivity computing] HPCwire: Univa Rescues Grid Engine From Oracle: Although Grid Engine is a general-purpose workload manager, and has many applications outside of HPC (including within Oracle's own Enterprise Manager suite), the company is apparently not inclined to be the steward of this technology. At the very least, it is unwilling to develop and maintain the open source software for the larger community -- that despite this gushing endorsement of Grid Engine that Oracle posted in September 2010 on its website:

[Linux Magazine] The State of Oracle/Sun Grid Engine | Linux Magazine: Well, in my experience, Oracle has a corporate culture to puff their own product to suits and they even try to sell to techs. With their main line a software product which is competing with some open source software, it is not likely that their corporate culture can withstand the shock of open source all that well, and I would expect their reaction to be defensive.

The changes announced today are a very positive step in this direction, putting Univa in a strong position to deliver optimization solutions that span both bare metal and virtualized environments for HPC.

[HPCwire: Relevant HPC news stories from around the globe] HPCwire: Univa Acquires Grid Engine Expertise: "We selected Grid Engine as a core part of Univa's software stack almost five years ago due to its market leading feature set, large user community and vibrant open source community, all backed by a fantastic engineering team. Now that key members of the Grid Engine team are part of Univa, it seems a no-brainer for Grid Engine users to go with Univa for ongoing GE technology and services, as well as the broader datacenter optimization stack Univa has built around GE."

[Nirmal's Haven] Sun/Oracle Grid Engine 6.2 installation on Windows | Nirmal's Haven: Sun Grid Engine 6.2 Update 2 introduced the support for Windows Operating systems to run as worker nodes. Sun or Oracle Grid Engine as it’s being relabeled now is a distributed resource manager primarily used in HPC environment, but there’s more widespread use now with all the new features introduced as part of Update 5.

[insideHPC] Sun GridEngine, now 100% less free | insideHPC.com: Oracle continues its drive to do away with Sun’s strategy of making money by adding value on top of open source tools provided free to the community. In fairness to Oracle it didn’t work all that well as a business model for Sun, which hemorrhaged money and never turned the strategy into any significant share of the HPC market.

Univa will concentrate on improving Grid Engine for technical computing and HPC use cases in addition to promoting the continuity of the Grid Engine open source community.“The first step to data center optimization is effective sharing of systems and workload distribution, and now Univa provides the leading resource management system as a primary element in our optimization stack”

[scalability.org] Goodbye GridEngine ”¦ | scalability.org: Basically all of this will be hidden behind some of our tools, but still ”¦ we've been using SGE since before it was Sun's (or Grid Engine). It isn 't abandoned, and I don't see what the basis is for saying that the community can't sustain it for HPC use (which Oracle isn't interested in, as far as we know).
