Moab Scheduler

Overview

Moab Scheduler was designed to provide the information and control needed to efficiently manage large systems. Moab Scheduler is based in an "information-rich" environment, which gives support required by administrators and needed by users. Moab Scheduler supplies system administrators with the parameters necessary to make well-founded system and job management decisions. Its classless, single queue environment allows any job to run on any set of nodes whose configuration meets its requirements. The Moab Scheduler provides an extensive set of dynamically reconfigurable parameters to control job queues and various aspects of the running workload.

Moab is part of the one of the batch system at CHPC. It works in conjunction with Torque (PBS). For details on using batch on a particular CHPC platform, please refer to the batch section of the User's Guides that use Moab/Torque to schedule jobs:
