Platform LSF Reference

Members of a chunk job can be migrated. Chunk jobs in WAIT state are removed from
the job chunk and put into PEND state.
Default
Undefined (no automatic job migration)
NEW_JOB_SCHED_DELAY
Syntax
NEW_JOB_SCHED_DELAY=
seconds
Description
The number of seconds that a new job waits, before being scheduled. A value of zero
(0) means the job is scheduled without any delay.
Default 2 seconds
NICE
Syntax
NICE=
integer
Description
Adjusts the UNIX scheduling priority at which jobs from this queue execute.
The default value of 0 (zero) maintains the default scheduling priority for UNIX
interactive jobs. This value adjusts the run-time priorities for batch jobs on a queue-by-
queue basis, to control their effect on other batch or interactive jobs. See the
nice(1)
manual page for more details.
On Windows, this value is mapped to Windows process priority classes as follows:
◆ nice>=0 corresponds to an priority class of IDLE
◆ nice<0 corresponds to an priority class of NORMAL
Platform LSF on Windows does not support HIGH or REAL-TIME priority classes.
Default
0 (zero)
NQS_QUEUES
Syntax
NQS_QUEUES=
NQS_ queue_name@NQS_host_name ...
Description
Makes the queue an NQS forward queue.
NQS_host_name is an NQS host name that can be the official host name or an alias
name known to the LSF master host through
gethostbyname(3).
NQS_queue_name is the name of an NQS destination queue on this host. NQS
destination queues are considered for job routing in the order in which they are listed
here. If a queue accepts the job, it is routed to that queue. If no queue accepts the job, it
remains pending in the NQS forward queue.
lsb.nqsmaps must be present for the LSF system to route jobs in this queue to NQS
systems.
You must configure LSB_MAX_NQS_QUEUES in
lsf.conf to specify the
maximum number of NQS queues allowed in the LSF cluster. This is required for LSF
to work with NQS.
