manager is TORQUE, which
communicates with users
submitting jobs and all of the
compute nodes on the system.
TORQUE monitors memory usage
and processor utilization for all
jobs. TORQUE communicates this
information to Moab. Moab is the
job scheduling program and
determines when and where jobs
can get scheduled.
