Mission

The Grid Engine project is about expanding the application and use of distributed computing. We want to:

- Advance Grid Engine technology
- Establish community-driven standards for distributed computing
- Enable developers to create innovative services and applications across distributed heterogeneous compute environments

We've outlined an overall vision and set of objectives guiding our development process. You can view them in our introduction page and our documentation.
