The Beowulf Cluster Shell (beosh) has been created to provide cluster users with a Single System Image (SSI) by distributing individual commands or pipelined jobs over available nodes without requiring the user to be aware of where or how jobs are distributed. Job control of distributed jobs enables management of multiple concurrent remote jobs from a single shell session. In addition to SSI features, beosh supports parallel job execution through pdsh, a commonly used parallel-only cluster shell. In either distributed or parallel mode, beosh can limit nodes to those reserved through a system like the Portable Batch System (PBS).
