Government and research organizations have been longtime drivers of high-performance computing (HPC), developing compute-intensive applications such as weather forecasting, space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research.

PBS Professional makes it possible to create intelligent policies to manage distributed, mixed-vendor computing assets as a single, unified system. Based on a policy-driven architecture, PBS continually optimizes timeliness and throughput in HPC resources, ensuring that they are used effectively and efficiently.

"PBS has been able to adapt to all those computing
environments. So one, it’s flexible; two, we can use it on any architecture; and three, it’s easy for users to learn.”
-HEC technical director for SCS for NASA’s Advanced
Supercomputing Division
