Resource Managers
The objects within the Resource Manager work in concert to match jobs submitted to the Symera system with nodes, or individual workstations, available to run them. The Resource Manager is a fault-tolerant object that tracks the nodes within the cluster, schedules jobs to be run across these nodes, and tracks the progress of jobs being executed within the cluster.

Jobs submitted to the Resource Manager consist of a job file (a marked up text file that describes the job's system requirements), data files (data, legacy executables, etc.), a primary drone (which Symera uses to start the job), and the other drones (that do the actual work on the nodes).
