Open Source:

TORQUE Resource Manager - TORQUE* Resource Manager is an open source resource manager providing control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes. It is a community effort based on the original PBS project and has incorporated significant advances in the areas of scalability, fault tolerance, and feature extensions contributed by NCSA, OSC, USC, the U.S. Dept of Energy, Sandia, PNNL, U of Buffalo, TeraGrid, and many other leading edge HPC organizations.

Maui Cluster Scheduler - Maui Cluster Scheduler is an open source advanced job scheduler for use on clusters and supercomputers. It is a highly optimized and configurable tool capable of supporting an array of scheduling policies, dynamic priorities, extensive reservations and fairshare capabilities. It improves the manageability and efficiency of machines ranging from clusters of a few processors to multi-teraflop supercomputers.

Gold Allocation Manager - Cluster Resources provides technical support for Gold Allocation Manager. Gold is an open source accounting system that tracks resource usage on High Performance Computers. It acts much like a bank in which accounts are established in order to pre-allocate which users and projects can use resources on which machines and over which timeframes. It provides balance and usage feedback to users, managers, and system administrators.

History

In 1995, the founder of Cluster Resources, Inc. envisioned a system in which multiple computers could act intelligently, and the software would empower organizations to fully understand, control and optimize their compute resources. And thus the Maui Scheduler and subsequently the Moab family of products were created.

In 2001, Cluster Resources, Inc. was developed under the leadership of the Supercluster Development Group. They combined the experience of providing cutting-edge high performance computing software since the early 1990's with the experience of servicing hundreds of customer sites to create the professional services and software development organization known as Cluster Resources, Inc.

Cluster Resources' product line has been recognized as "the scheduler of choice" by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee to manage the next generation of the United States' high performance supercomputers. Cluster Resources also provides the workload management and scheduling software that runs the world's largest grid (Teragrid), the world's largest data center (CERN), and the world's largest supercomputing organization (Tri Labs) and manages many of the largest clusters in the world.
