Chapter 11 Resource Managers and Interfaces

Moab provides a powerful resource management interface that enables significant flexibility in how resources and workloads are managed. Highlights of this interface are listed in what follows:

Highlight Description
Support for Multiple Standard Resource Manager Interface Protocols Manage cluster resources and workloads via PBS, Loadleveler, SGE, LSF, or BProc based resource managers.
Support for Generic Resource Manager Interfaces Manage cluster resources securely via locally developed or open source projects using simple flat text interfaces or XML over HTTP.
Support for Multiple Simultaneous Resource Managers Integrate resource and workload streams from multiple independent sources reporting disjoint sets of resources.
Independent Workload and Resource Management Allow one system to manage your workload (queue manager) and another to manage your resources.
Support for Rapid Development Interfaces Load resource and workload information directly from a file, a URL, or from the output of a configurable script or other executable.
Resource Extension Information Integrate information from multiple sources to obtain a cohesive view of a compute resource. (That is, mix information from NIM, OpenPBS, FLEXlm, and a cluster performance monitor to obtain a single node image with a coordinated state and a more extensive list of node configuration and utilization attributes.)
