+
+[PBS][] software schedules jobs to efficiently allocate the available
+computing resources.  It is often used on clusters, allowing users to
+queue jobs which are executed once enough worker nodes become
+available.  The main open-source PBS implementation is [Tourque],
+which provides the infrastructure.  [Maui][] (also open-source) plugs
+into Torque and provides the scheduling logic.
+
+See my [[cluster post|Abax]] for more details.
