Use

In a computing network, such as the bwHPC, a batch system is installed that handles job management on the distributed nodes.


Batch components

The batch system consists of the resource manager Torque and the scheduler Moab. Torque (Terascale Open-Source Resource and QUEue Manager) takes over the resource management. It is based on PBS, the Portable Batch System. Moab acts as a job management system. It decides when to run a job and provides information about the job load of a cluster.


Submit a job and create batch scripts

Communication with the Torque and Moab batch system components is through Moab commands, which can be summarized in a batch script and sent to the clusters as a job to allocate resources to your job.
