Configuring lsf.shared Resource Section
Configured resources are defined in the Resource section of lsf.shared. There is
no distinction between shared and non-shared resources.
You must specify at least a name and description for the resource, using the keywords
RESOURCENAME and DESCRIPTION.
◆ A resource name cannot begin with a number.
◆ A resource name cannot contain any of the following characters
: . ( ) [ + - * / ! & | < > @ =
◆ A resource name cannot be any of the following reserved keywords:
cpu cpuf io login ls idle maxmem maxswp maxtmp type model
status it mem ncpus ndisks pg r15m r15s r1m swap swp tmp ut
◆ Resource names are case sensitive
◆ Resource names can be up to 29 characters in length
You can also specify:
◆ The resource type (TYPE = Boolean | String | Numeric)
The default is Boolean.
◆ For dynamic resources, the update interval (INTERVAL, in seconds)
◆ For numeric resources, where a higher value indicates greater load (INCREASING
= Y)
◆ For numeric shared resources, where LSF releases the resource when a job using the
resource is suspended (RELEASE = Y)
When the optional attributes are not specified, the resource is treated as static and
Boolean.
