Supplementary Information
This section contains links to third-party and open source components that are integrated into the HP XC
System Software core technology. In the HP XC documentation, except where necessary, references to
third-party and open source software components are generic, and the XC adjective is not added to any
reference to a third-party or open source command or product name. For example, the SLURM srun command
is simply referred to as the srun command.

LSF, the batch system resource manager used on an HP XC system, is tightly integrated with the HP XC
and SLURM software.
For your convenience, the following Platform LSF HPC documents are shipped on the HP XC
Documentation CD in PDF format:
• Administering Platform LSF
• Administration Primer
• Platform LSF Reference
• Quick Reference Card
• Running Jobs with Platform LSF
LSF HPC procedures and information supplied in the HP XC documentation supersedes the information
supplied in the LSF documents from Platform.
The Platform LSF manpages are installed by default. The lsf_diff(7) manpage, supplied by HP,
describes LSF command differences on an HP XC system.
See the following sources for more information about LSF HPC:
• LSF HPC administrator tasks are documented in the HP XC System Software Administration Guide .
• LSF HPC user tasks such as launching and managing jobs are documented in the HP XC System
