PBS Professional v20 and Beyond — Altair Engineering

Maximize utilization of compute clusters with PBS Professional v20 and beyond delivered as a node-based annual lease. PBS Professional is a production-grade HPC scheduler that enforces policy-driven job queuing, fair-share, reservations, and advanced backfill to improve throughput and reduce wait times for time-sensitive workloads. Delivered as an annual node license, this offering fits environments that scale by compute nodes and require commercial support and updates. Use PBS Professional to integrate with resource managers, orchestrate GPU-accelerated pipelines, and apply custom scheduling policies for research, engineering simulation, and data analytics. Altair’s node lease model provides predictable OPEX treatment and ensures access to upgrades and vendor support throughout the term, allowing infrastructure teams to focus on cluster performance rather than license administration.
