Platform LSF Reference
112
At any moment, each queue is either Open or Closed, and is either Active
or
Inactive. The queue can be opened, closed, inactivated and re-activated
by the LSF administrator using
badmin (see badmin(8)).
Jobs submitted to a queue that is later closed are still dispatched as long as the
queue is active. The queue can also become inactive when either its dispatch
window is closed or its run window is closed (see DISPATCH_WINDOWS in
the “Output for the -l Option” section). In this case, the queue cannot be
activated using
badmin. The queue is re-activated by LSF when one of its
dispatch windows and one of its run windows are open again. The initial state
of a queue at LSF boot time is set to open, and either active or inactive
depending on its windows.
MAX
The maximum number of job slots that can be used by the jobs from the queue.
These job slots are used by dispatched jobs which have not yet finished, and by
pending jobs which have slots reserved for them.
A sequential job will use one job slot when it is dispatched to a host, while a
parallel job will use as many job slots as is required by
bsub -n when it is
dispatched. See
bsub(1) for details. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
JL/U
The maximum number of job slots each user can use for jobs in the queue.
These job slots are used by your dispatched jobs which have not yet finished,
and by pending jobs which have slots reserved for them. If ‘–’ is displayed, there
is no limit.
JL/P
The maximum number of job slots a processor can process from the queue.
This includes job slots of dispatched jobs that have not yet finished, and job
slots reserved for some pending jobs. The job slot limit per processor (JL/P)
controls the number of jobs sent to each host. This limit is configured per
processor so that multiprocessor hosts are automatically allowed to run more
jobs. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
JL/H
The maximum number of job slots a host can allocate from this queue. This
includes the job slots of dispatched jobs that have not yet finished, and those
reserved for some pending jobs. The job slot limit per host (JL/H) controls the
number of jobs sent to each host, regardless of whether a host is a uniprocessor
host or a multiprocessor host. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
NJOBS
The total number of job slots held currently by jobs in the queue. This includes
pending, running, suspended and reserved job slots. A parallel job that is
running on n processors is counted as n job slots, since it takes n job slots in the
queue. See
bjobs(1) for an explanation of batch job states.
PEND
The number of job slots used by pending jobs in the queue.
