[Fourth and final attempt: apologies if you have received this before]

Can anyone give me references to, descriptions of, etc. the existence
of offline batch submission services for parallel and distributed
systems? Such a server would allow (possibly multiple) users to submit
jobs of varying priorities and resource requirements, then schedule
those jobs to make efficient use of the available resources, with
respect to their priorities.

For example, does such a service exist for PVM?

All followups to duncan@perihelion.co.uk please, I'm using this
account remotely.

Thanks,
Duncan.
