A Note On Language


When using a scheduling system there is a unique vocabulary used to describe various actions and information presented by the system. For example, a program being run, or preparing to be run by the scheduling system is called a ``job.'' Jobs are ``submitted'' to the system and are then organized into ``queues'' which define the rules for running a job and where, using what resources. New terms will be explained as they come up, but be aware that there is a preferred method of describing features and actions performed by the system.
