TORQUE Resource Manager provides control over batch jobs and distributed computing resources. It is an open-source product based on the original PBS project.

While TORQUE has a built-in scheduler, pbs_sched, it is typically used solely as a resource manager with a scheduler making requests to it. Resources managers provide the low-level functionality to start, hold, cancel, and monitor jobs. Without these capabilities, a scheduler alone cannot control jobs.
