Supplementary Software Products This section provides links to third-party and open source software
products 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 HP 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-HPC with SLURM, the batch system resource manager used on an HP XC system, is tightly
integrated with the HP XC and SLURM software. Documentation specific to LSF-HPC with SLURM
is provided in the HP XC documentation set.
Standard LSF is also available as an alternative resource management system (instead of LSF-HPC
with SLURM) for HP XC. This is the version of LSF that is widely discussed on the Platform Web
site.
For your convenience, the following Platform Computing Corporation LSF 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 procedures and information supplied in the HP XC documentation, particularly the documentation
relating to the LSF-HPC integration with SLURM, supersedes the information supplied in the LSF
manuals from Platform Computing Corporation.
The Platform Computing Corporation LSF manpages are installed by default. The lsf_diff(7) manpage
supplied by HP describes LSF command differences when using LSF-HPC with SLURM on an HP
XC system
