Generic NQS is a network queuing system for spreading batch jobs across a network of machines. It is designed to be simple to install on a heterogeneous network of machines, and has optimizations for running on the high end, symmetric multiprocessing servers that are currently on the market. It inter-operates with other NQS systems, including Cray's NQE. generic-NQS is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.shef.ac.uk [143.167.1.11], in directory /pub/uni/projects/nqs/latest/.
