• CentOS 5.4 (x64) or Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x64)
• Moab Workload Manager 6.1.0 or 6.0.5 (Go to the Download Center, Select Existing Customers and then Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition. Under the title "Moab HPC Suite 6.1 – Enterprise Edition", follow the download link.).
• MSMHPC 6.1.0 or MSMHPC 6.0.5

Moab, physically located in the Linux head node, communicates with the compute nodes through both the Linux and Windows resource managers. If TORQUE is configured, Moab communicates with the compute nodes via the TORQUE server. On Windows, Moab communicates with the MSMHPC tools (or the Perl scripts) on the Linux head node, which communicate with the MSMHPC cache on the Windows head node. The MSMHPC cache is updated with information from the Microsoft HPC Scheduler. The Microsoft HPC Scheduler communicates directly with the compute nodes.
