Schedulers and Tools
Cluster batch control systems are used to manage jobs on the system. They are essential for sequentially queuing jobs, assigning priorities, distributing, parallelizing, suspending, killing or otherwise controlling jobs cluster-wide.
Maui Cluster Scheduler
Maui is a highly optimized and configurable advanced job scheduler for use on clusters. It is capable of supporting a large array of scheduling policies, including dynamic priorities, extensive reservations, and fairshare, and also interfaces with numerous resource management systems. Maui improves the manageability and efficiency of machines ranging from severs of a few processors to multi-teraflop clusters.

Moab Cluster Suite
Moab Cluster Suite (MCS) from Cluster Resources, Inc.® is a policy-based intelligence engine that integrates scheduling, managing, monitoring, and reporting of cluster workloads. It guarantees service levels are met while maximizing job throughput. MCS is integrated with an existing middleware for consolidated administrative control and holistic cluster reporting. Its graphical management interfaces and flexible policy capabilities offer improved ease of use, decreased costs and increased ROI of cluster investments.

TORQUE Resource Manager
TORQUE (Tera-scale Open-source Resource and QUEue manager) is a resource manager providing control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes. It is a community effort based on the original PBS project and has incorporated significant advancements in the areas of scalability, fault tolerance, and feature extensions contributed by NCSA, OSC, USC, the U.S. Dept of Energy, Sandia, PNNL, University of Buffalo, TeraGrid, and many other leading edge HPC organizations. TORQUE is fully supported by Moab Workload Manager and Maui Scheduler.

PBS Professional
The Portable Batch System, PBS, is the leading workload management solution for HPC systems and Linux clusters. PBS was originally designed for NASA because existing resource management systems of the day were inadequate for modern parallel/distributed computers and clusters. From the initial design forward, PBS has included innovative new approaches to resource management and job scheduling, such as the extraction of scheduling policy into a single separable, completely customizable module. PBS today exists as OpenPBS, the open source version, and PBS Professional. PBS Professional operates in networked multi-platform UNIX environments, and supports heterogeneous clusters of workstations, supercomputers, and massively parallel systems. PBS Professional: the trusted solution for workload management.
