DQS is a "smart" system for scheduling background jobs to multiple workstations and is being developed at the Supercomputer Computations Research Institute at Florida State University. It has the ability to schedule jobs to execution queues on machines that are not heavily loaded, and will suspend the execution queue and any jobs associated with that queue when a user logs onto the console.

How does it work?

Instead of you telling the system which queue to put your job into based on resources, you request some resources, and DQS decides which queue will meet your needs. DQS also supports queues on multiple machines (hence the name, "Distributed").
