   3 [PBS][] software schedules jobs to efficiently allocate the available
   4 computing resources.  It is often used on clusters, allowing users to
   5 queue jobs which are executed once enough worker nodes become
   6 available.  The main open-source PBS implementation is [Tourque][],
   7 which provides the infrastructure.  [Maui][] (also open-source) plugs
   8 into Torque and provides the scheduling logic.
