Portable Batch System (or simply PBS ) is the name of computer software that performs job scheduling . Its primary task is to allocate computational tasks, i.e., batch jobs, among the available computing resources. It is often used in conjunction with UNIX cluster environments.
5-477: PBS is supported as a job scheduler mechanism by several meta schedulers including Moab by Adaptive Computing Enterprises and GRAM ( Grid Resource Allocation Manager ), a component of the Globus Toolkit. PBS was originally developed for NASA under a contract project that began on June 17, 1991. The main contractor who developed the original code was MRJ Technology Solutions. MRJ was acquired by Veridian in
10-516: A single aggregated view, allowing batch jobs to be directed to the best location for execution. Meta-scheduling technique is a solution for scheduling a set of dependent or independent faults with different scenarios that are mapping and modeling in an event-tree. It can be used as a dynamic or static scheduling method. Scenario-based and multi-mode approaches are essential techniques in embedded-systems, e.g., design space exploration for MPSoCs and reconfigurable systems. Optimization techniques for
15-592: The Open Source Initiative's definition of open source, were set to expire on December 31, 2001. Today, OpenPBS, the "community edition" of PBS Professional, is distributed under GNU Affero General Public License . This free and open-source software article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Meta-scheduling Meta-scheduling or super scheduling is a computer software technique of optimizing computational workloads by combining an organization's multiple job schedulers into
20-494: The late 1990s. Altair Engineering acquired the rights to all the PBS technology and intellectual property from Veridian in 2003. Altair Engineering currently owns and maintains the intellectual property associated with PBS, and also employs the original development team from NASA. The following versions of PBS are currently available: The license for PBS derived programs allows redistribution accompanied by information on how to obtain
25-529: The source code and modifications, and requires an acknowledgement in any advertising clause mentioning use of the software (compare the BSD advertising clause ). Prior to 2002, PBS and derivative programs (OpenPBS) prohibited commercial redistribution of the software, required registration at the OpenPBS website, and required attribution when PBS contributed to a published research project. These requirements, which did not meet
