What is "openlava"

OpenLava is an open source workload job scheduling software for a cluster of computers. OpenLava was derived from an early version of Platform LSF. Its configuration file syntax, API, and CLI have been kept unchanged. Therefore, OpenLava is mostly compatible with Platform LSF.

OpenLava was based on the Utopia research project at the University of Toronto.

OpenLava has gained significant development after forking out from Platform Lava, particularly in recent years.

Since fall 2015, the OpenLava development effort has been focused on improving scheduler performance and efficiency for high throughput workloads. In May 2016, OpenLava was benchmarked on AWS to schedule 1 million jobs with 100,000 concurrent job slots.
