Moab Workload Manager Overview

Moab Workload Manager is a scheduling and management system designed for clusters, grids, and on-demand/utility computing systems. Moab:

• applies site policies and extensive optimizations to orchestrate jobs, services, and other workload across the ideal combination of network, compute, and storage resources.
• enables adaptive computing; allowing compute resources to be customized to changing needs and failed systems to be automatically fixed or replaced.
• increases system resource availability, offers extensive cluster diagnostics, delivers powerful quality of service (QoS) and service level agreement (SLA) features, and it provides rich visualization of cluster performance through advanced statistics, reports, and charts. In addition, the Elastic Computing feature allows Moab to temporarily utilize systems that can provide additional resources to take care of increased workload demand (caused by high job backlog) in a more timely manner.

Moab also works with major resource management and resource monitoring tools. From hardware monitoring systems like IPMI to provisioning systems and storage managers, Moab takes advantage of domain expertise to allow these systems to do what they do best, importing their state information and providing them with the information necessary to do their job better. Moab uses its global information to coordinate the activities of both resources and services, which optimizes overall performance in-line with high-level mission objectives.
