Job Scheduler Solutions
HPC job scheduler selection and configuration: comparison and deployment of SLURM, PBS Pro, LSF and Altair Grid Engine.
What is Job Scheduler Solutions?
A job scheduler is the critical software layer that automatically sequences hundreds of compute jobs on your HPC cluster, allocates resources fairly and maximizes infrastructure efficiency. Mevasis draws on deep expertise in SLURM, PBS Pro, IBM Spectrum LSF and Altair Grid Engine to select, install and continuously monitor the scheduler best suited to your organization's workload.
A correctly configured job scheduler lets you extract twice the throughput from the same hardware; this is not merely a technical improvement — it is a measurable return on investment.

How Does the Implementation Process Work?
Mevasis begins every project with a detailed analysis of the existing infrastructure and workload profile, then completes the selection, installation and optimization phases within a defined methodology.
Analysis and Scheduler Selection
Cluster topology, user groups and workload profile are examined to determine the most appropriate scheduler and partition design.
Installation and Configuration
The selected scheduler is installed in a production-appropriate manner; authentication, accounting database and QOS tiers are configured.
Policy Optimization and Maintenance
Organization-specific quota and preemption policies are activated; regular maintenance and version updates keep the system current.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
A job scheduler becomes mandatory whenever dozens or hundreds of compute jobs enter the queue simultaneously, resource conflicts are slowing business processes, or the available cluster capacity cannot be used efficiently. R&D centers, university HPC clusters, financial modeling teams, bioinformatics groups and AI training infrastructures are the environments where this solution creates the most value.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
In the domain of job schedulers, Mevasis has field-deployed expert staff for SLURM, PBS Pro, IBM Spectrum LSF and Altair Grid Engine installation, configuration and optimization. We analyze your existing infrastructure, select the scheduler best suited to the workload, establish priority and limit policies, and then provide ongoing monitoring and maintenance support.
