FBSNG is composed of a set of daemon processes that monitor, control, and run jobs on the farm nodes. This section is provided to give a brief description of the structure of FBSNG. It is not necessary to know anything about the FBSNG internals in order to use it. This section is purely informational.
- bmgr: The bmgr (batch manager) runs on the FBSNG control node. It is responsible for accepting new jobs, scheduling, queueing, dispatching, managing resources, and maintaining connections with the launcher (see below).
- launcher: The launcher is a daemon process that is responsible for starting and monitoring user processes. The launcher runs on every node in the cluster, communicating status information to the bmgr and API..
- logger: This daemon is used to log FBSNG status and error messages.
- User Interface (UI): A set of commands that allow users to submit, monitor, and control jobs.
- Graphical User Interface: A GUI implementation of the UI.
- API: The Application Programmers Interface.
