Other schedulers such like LSF, Slurm have support the feature that “multi clusters” which means user can submit a normal SLURM command followed by a list of clusters.

See [https://slurm.schedmd.com/multi\_cluster.html](https://slurm.schedmd.com/multi_cluster.html).

Have searched PBS but didn’t find related topics.

So will PBS support this kind of concept? Or is there any similar concept in PBS?

Thanks a lot!

The below might help:

2. PBS supports peer scheduling between multiple PBS clusters

4. Multi-sched partitions  
Admin Guide 4.2 "Scheduling Each Partition Separately". (thanks @agurban)
