Portable Batch System (PBS)

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.
