Features Job Priority Users can specify the priority of their jobs Job-Interdependency OpenPBS enables the user to define a wide range of interdependencies between batch jobs such as execution order, synchronization, and execution conditioned on the success or failure of a specified other job Automatic File Staging OpenPBS provides users with the ability to specify any files that need to be copied onto the execution host before the job runs and any that need to be copied off after the job completes Single or Multiple Queue Support OpenPBS can be configured with as many queues Multiple Scheduling Algorithms With OpenPBS you can select the standard first-in, first-out scheduling, or a more sophisticated scheduling algorithm
Features • Job Priority – Users can specify the priority of their jobs. • Job-Interdependency – OpenPBS enables the user to define a wide range of interdependencies between batch jobs such as execution order, synchronization, and execution conditioned on the success or failure of a specified other job. • Automatic File Staging – OpenPBS provides users with the ability to specify any files that need to be copied onto the execution host before the job runs, and any that need to be copied off after the job completes. • Single or Multiple Queue Support – OpenPBS can be configured with as many queues. • Multiple Scheduling Algorithms – With OpenPBS you can select the standard first-in, first-out scheduling, or a more sophisticated scheduling algorithm

Open PBS Components Commands There are three command classifications: user commands which any authorized user can use operator commands and manager (or administrator) commands Job server The server' s main function is to provide the basic batch services such as receiving/creating a batch job, modifying the job protecting the job against system crashes, and running the job Typically there is one Server managing a given set of resources
OpenPBS Components • Commands – There are three command classifications: user commands, which any authorized user can use, operator commands, and manager (or administrator) commands. • Job Server – The Server’s main function is to provide the basic batch services such as receiving/creating a batch job, modifying the job, protecting the job against system crashes, and running the job. Typically there is one Server managing a given set of resources
Open PBS Components Job Executor(MOM) The Job Executor is the daemon which actually places the job into execution This daemon is informally called MOM as it is the mother of all executing jobs MOM places a job into execution when it receives a copy of the job from a Server. MOM creates a new session that is as identical to a user login session as is possible MOM also has the responsibility for returning the job's output to the user when directed to do so by the server · Job scheduler The Job scheduler daemon implements the site's policy controlling when each job is run and on which resources The Scheduler communicates with the various MOms to query the state of system resources and with the server for availability of jobs to execute Note that the scheduler interfaces with the server wth the same privilege as the PBS manager
OpenPBS Components • Job Executor (MOM) – The Job Executor is the daemon which actually places the job into execution. This daemon is informally called MOM as it is the mother of all executing jobs. – MOM places a job into execution when it receives a copy of the job from a Server. MOM creates a new session that is as identical to a user login session as is possible. – MOM also has the responsibility for returning the job’s output to the user when directed to do so by the Server. • Job Scheduler – The Job Scheduler daemon implements the site’s policy controlling when each job is run and on which resources. – The Scheduler communicates with the various MOMs to query the state of system resources and with the Server for availability of jobs to execute. – Note that the Scheduler interfaces with the Server with the same privilege as the PBS manager
