How the System Works
LSF can be configured in different ways that affect the scheduling of jobs. By default,
this is how LSF handles a new job:
1
Receive the job. Create a job file. Return the job ID to the user.
2
Schedule the job and select the best available host.
3
Dispatch the job to a selected host.
4
Set the environment on the host.
5
Start the job.
