PBS Professional Features and Benefits


Enabling On-Demand Computing

Putting PBS Professional to work can dramatically improve the productivity and time-to-solution of HPC environments through increased 24/7 availability of computing resources.

PBS Professional reduces costs by maximizing the utilization of hardware and using software licenses more effectively. It reduces system administration costs by simplifying user access and providing more precise usage reports. Annual licenses that include support cost $13.50 per core in North America.

A mature partner ecosystem makes PBS Professional easy to deploy and integrate seamlessly. It operates on all major hardware platforms and is tightly integrated with popular MPI libraries, widely used software applications, and complementary middleware solutions.

PBS Professional builds productivity with powerful features.
