Default
Undefined
DISPATCH_WINDOW
Syntax
DISPATCH_WINDOW=
time_window ...
Description
The time windows in which jobs from this queue are dispatched. Once dispatched, jobs
are no longer affected by the dispatch window.
Default
Undefined (always open)
EXCLUSIVE
Syntax
EXCLUSIVE=Y
| N
Description
If Y, specifies an exclusive queue.
Jobs submitted to an exclusive queue with
bsub -x will only be dispatched to a host
that has no other LSF jobs running.
For hosts shared under the MultiCluster resource leasing model, jobs will not be
dispatched to a host that has LSF jobs running, even if the jobs are from another cluster.
FAIRSHARE
Description
Enables queue-level user-based fairshare and specifies share assignments. Only users
with share assignments can submit jobs to the queue.
Syntax
FAIRSHARE=USER_SHARES[[
user, number_shares] ...]
◆ Specify at least one user share assignment.
◆ Enclose the list in square brackets, as shown.
◆ Enclose each user share assignment in square brackets, as shown.
◆ user
Specify users who are also configured to use queue. You can assign the shares to:
❖ A single user (specify user_name)
❖ Users in a group, individually (specify group_name@) or collectively (specify
group_name)
❖ Users not included in any other share assignment, individually (specify the
keyword
default) or collectively (specify the keyword others)
By default, when resources are assigned collectively to a group, the group members
compete for the resources on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis. You can use
hierarchical fairshare to further divide the shares among the group members.
When resources are assigned to members of a group individually, the share
assignment is recursive. Members of the group and of all subgroups always compete
for the resources according to FCFS scheduling, regardless of hierarchical fairshare
policies.
◆ number_shares
Specify a positive integer representing the number of shares of the cluster resources
assigned to the user.
