« Running Jobs on the cluster system »

• Run jobs on a selected host using the rsh host run job command.
• Submit jobs using the PBS (Portable Batch System) job control system.
• Submit jobs using the Condor job management system.

The first method is suitable for small uniprocessor jobs. It does not require you to write a job control script. The drawback is that it interferes with the resources control system used by PBS and Condor. Using this method to run long jobs on multiple hosts is discouraged.

PBS is the default job management software that comes with the PGI Cluster Development Kit: a set of compilers and code development tools. It is the recommended method for submitting and running jobs on the cluster system.

Condor is an alternative job control system similar to PBS.
