Actually qsub is part of the Torque resource manager:

http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/products/open-source/torque/

usually on clusters using a job scheduler / resource manager you
need qsub to launch any job, be it serial of parallel.

So if you want to have multiple cores to run a parallel Octave
script using either the parallel or mpi package you will need
to write any instructions needed to run your script in a submission
file then launch it through qsub.
