Portable Batch System (PBS) <title_line>batch processing system for heterogeneous computing networks <abstract> The Portable Batch System (PBS) project was intitiated to create a flexible, extensible batch processing system to meet the unique demands of emerging heterogeneous computing networks. You can submit your "batch job" on any machine and PBS will run your script on the machine you request when the resources you need are available. Your PBS system administrator can define the method used to choose what jobs to run where, and in what order. </abstract> <environment> PBS can be installed on almost any UNIX machine, ranging from single-processor workstations to workstation clusters and massively parallel supercomputers. <cost>Free to U.S. beta test sites <contact> Dave Tweten, NASA Ames Research Center Phone: 415-604-4416 Email: tweten@nas.nasa.gov <category>dpt <keywords>resource allocation; job scheduling; heterogeneous network </urc>
