TORQUE Resource Manager

TORQUE Administrator's Manual - 5.1 Integrating Schedulers for TORQUE

5.1 Integrating Schedulers for TORQUE

Selecting the cluster scheduler is an important decision and significantly affects cluster utilization, responsiveness, availability, and intelligence.  The default TORQUE scheduler, pbs_sched, is very basic and will provide poor utilization of your cluster's resources.  Other options, such as Maui Scheduler or Moab Workload Manager are highly recommended.  If using Maui/Moab, refer to the Moab-PBS Integration Guide.   If using pbs_sched, start this daemon now.

If you are installing ClusterSuite, TORQUE and Moab were configured at installation for interoperability and no further action is required.
