Job Submission to a Cluster

Job Server is the orchestration system for all Schrödinger scientific computations. Job Server infrastructure is used to submit jobs to an HPC cluster.

As of 2025-4 Schrödinger software is using Job Server by default for submitting and managing computational jobs. This new infrastructure replaced the legacy Job Control system to provide a more robust, secure, and scalable solution for modern computing environments. Customers who currently use Job Control will need to deploy and configure Job Server.

Single-node Linux machines can transition quickly and easily with the Job Server Quick Install Script. For cluster configuration, see Job Server Installation. For more information, see Transitioning from Job Control to Job Server.
