Job Scheduling on NCAR's Next-generation Supercomputer

Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) supports and advances this research in the geosciences with the world-class HPC and high-performance storage.

For workload management and resource scheduling, NCAR uses Altair PBS Professional to exploit features like cloud bursting, fairshare, power-user and maintenance reservations, resource assignment with control groups, high-throughput hierarchical scheduling, green provisioning, and energy-aware scheduling.

This presentation by Irfan Elahi, Brian Vanderwende, and John Blaas from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) was aired during the 2021 Altair HPC Summit, and is about 29 minutes long.
