Accelerator is used to manage a computer farm or computer cluster and is responsible for accepting, scheduling, dispatching, and managing the remote execution of standalone, parallel, or interactive user jobs. It also manages the allocation of resources such as processors, memory, disk space, software licenses, and custom objects to jobs that require them.

Accelerator uses a unique event-driven scheduler that results in very low overhead per job, usually in the millisecond range.

Features
  • Web interface for administrators and users
  • Native command execution and scripting support
  • Job throttling based upon resource availability (CPU, RAM, licenses, etc.)

Accelerator runs on multiple platforms, including:

gollark: No CBs ever again! Mwahahahaha!
gollark: Cool feature idea: simulated ecology, where wild dragons breed and eventually die, and cave ones have lineages.
gollark: The banner has pictures of CB golds and pagination on it.
gollark: Moderators, æh.
gollark: You can probably get a bunch of low time hatchlings. Everyone loves low time hatchlings.
