PBS Professional 2024.1.0 Released
Altair EmployeeHello, I am happy to announce that PBS Professional 2024.1.0 is now available!
Software packages and documentation can be obtained via the PBS Professional User Area, Altair One Marketplace, and Altair Connect.
PBS Professional 2024.1.0 contains many features and updates, including:
GraphQL WebAPI Interface for job submit/management/status and node status operations
- More powerful job and node status queries than available via CLI tools
- Job submission and control functionality “over the network”
- Clients require no filesystem access to PBS installation (e.g. Windows desktops)
- Ease of implementation and use for web based workflows
IPv6 support
Separate queued_jobs limit for array subjobs and normal jobs for increased scheduling policy flexibility
Configurable timeout for qsub for increased robustness
Installation package signatures for increased security
Budgets: Focus on Turnkey Deployments so that any future PBS Pro deployment or upgrade can easily and safely include Budgets
Turnkey Deployment Attributes:
- Postpay Mode
- no pre-allocation of budget among projects/users
- no enforcement mechanism to stop jobs from running
- robust reporting for cost recovery
- Configuration is 100% hands-off over time
- Users, Projects, Accounting Periods, Roles, etc, are all optional
- Can switch to prepaid mode with budget allocations and enforcement at any time
Simulate: Updates/improvements alongside core PBS Professional scheduler
Thanks,
Scott Campbell
