NO_PREEMPT_FINISH_TIME
Syntax
NO_PREEMPT_FINISH_TIME=
finish_time
Description
If set, jobs that will finish within the specified number of minutes will not be preempted.
Run time is wall-clock time, not normalized run time.
You must define a run limit for the job, either at job level by
bsub -W option or in the
queue by configuring RUNLIMIT in
lsb.queues.
NQS_QUEUES_FLAGS
Syntax
NQS_QUEUES_FLAGS=
integer
Description
For Cray NQS compatibility only. Used by LSF to get the NQS queue information.
If the NQS version on a Cray is NQS 1.1, 80.42 or NQS 71.3, this parameter does not
need to be defined.
For other versions of NQS on Cray, define both NQS_QUEUES_FLAGS and
NQS_REQUESTS_FLAGS.
To determine the value of this parameter, run the NQS
qstat command. The value of
Npk_int[1] in the output is the value you need for this parameter. Refer to the NQS
chapter in Administering Platform LSF for more details.
Default
Undefined
NQS_REQUESTS_FLAGS
Syntax
NQS_REQUESTS_FLAGS=
integer
Description
For Cray NQS compatibility only.
If the NQS version on a Cray is NQS 80.42 or NQS 71.3, this parameter does not need
to be defined.
If the version is NQS 1.1 on a Cray, set this parameter to 251918848. This is the is the
qstat flag which LSF uses to retrieve requests on Cray in long format.
For other versions of NQS on a Cray, run the NQS
qstat command. The value of
Npk_int[1] in the output is the value you need for this parameter. Refer to the NQS
chapter in Administering Platform LSF for more details.
Default
Undefined
PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT
Syntax
PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT=y
| Y
Description
If defined, LSF schedules jobs based on the number of slots assigned to the hosts
instead of the number of CPUs. These slots can be defined by host in
lsb.hosts or
by slot limit in
lsb.resources.
All slot-related messages still show the word “processors”, but actually refer to “slots”
instead. Similarly, all scheduling activities also use slots instead of processors.
