The default PBS scheduler implements a variety of common scheduling algorithems
including:
- round-robin
- by-queue

Each of these can be further configured to use a variety of job sorting methods
to indicate what class of job should be run first:
- no-sort
- shortest
- longest
- smallest-memory
- largest-memory
- high-priority
- low-priority
- large-walltime
- ascending-walltime
and combinations of these.
