How to submit application to a cluster?

To answer the original question, you usually write a submit script, which 
could look something like:

#!/bin/sh
#PBS -N job_name
#PBS -j oe

/what/you/want

and save in a file called, say serial.sh and then
qsub serial.sh

at which point the job is submitted to the pbs_server, actually torque on 
oscar 4.2.

HPC clusters are usually used for modelling, and large scale calculations 
rather than load balancing an application which I think is what you want.
