FAIRSHARE_QUEUES
Lists queues participating in cross-queue fairshare. The first queue listed is the
master queue—the queue in which fairshare is configured; all other queues
listed inherit the fairshare policy from the master queue. Fairshare information
applies to all the jobs running in all the queues in the master-slave set.
DISPATCH_ORDER
DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE is set in the master queue. Jobs from this
queue are dispatched according to the order of queue priorities first, then user
fairshare priority. Within the queue, dispatch order is based on user share quota.
This avoids having users with higher fairshare priority getting jobs dispatched
from low-priority queues.
USER_SHARES
A list of [
user_name, share] pairs. user_name is either a user name or a
user group name.
share is the number of shares of resources assigned to the
user or user group. A party will get a portion of the resources proportional to
that party’s share divided by the sum of the shares of all parties specified in this
queue.
DEFAULT HOST SPECIFICATION
The default host or host model that will be used to normalize the CPU time
limit of all jobs.
If you want to view a list of the CPU factors defined for the hosts in your
cluster, see
lsinfo(1). The CPU factors are configured in lsf.shared(5).
The appropriate CPU scaling factor of the host or host model is used to adjust
the actual CPU time limit at the execution host (see CPULIMIT in
lsb.queues(5)). The DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC parameter in
lsb.queues overrides the system DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC parameter in
lsb.params (see lsb.params(5)). If a user explicitly gives a host
specification when submitting a job using
bsub -c cpu_limit[/host_name |/host_model], the user
specification overrides the values defined in both
lsb.params and
lsb.queues.
RUN_WINDOWS
The time windows in a week during which jobs in the queue may run.
When a queue is out of its window or windows, no job in this queue will be
dispatched. In addition, when the end of a run window is reached, any running
jobs from this queue are suspended until the beginning of the next run window,
when they are resumed. The default is no restriction, or always open.
DISPATCH_WINDOWS
Dispatch windows are the time windows in a week during which jobs in the
queue may be dispatched.
When a queue is out of its dispatch window or windows, no job in this queue
will be dispatched. Jobs already dispatched are not affected by the dispatch
windows. The default is no restriction, or always open (that is, twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week). Note that such windows are only applicable to
