The G-Bar menu contains a categorized list of some of the applications installed. An application started from this menu will automatically detect which server has the lowest load average and start the program there.

Using the menu

The G-Bar works by running the window manager on one server, and all other programs on a couple of larger servers. Whenever a program is launched through the menu, a wrapper script will launch it on one of the HPC Application servers. This way all programs launched through the menu will always be running on a server allocated by the scheduling system.
