LSB_TIME_RESERVE_NUMJOBS
Syntax LSB_TIME_RESERVE_NUMJOBS=maximum_reservation_jobs
Description
Enables time-based slot reservation. The value must be positive integer.
LSB_TIME_RESERVE_NUMJOBS controls maximum number of jobs using time-
based slot reservation. For example, if LSB_TIME_RESERVE_NUMJOBS=4, only
the top 4 jobs will get their future allocation information.
Use LSB_TIME_RESERVE_NUMJOBS=1 to allow only the highest priority job to get
accurate start time prediction.
Recommended
value
3 or 4 is the recommended setting. Larger values are not as useful because after the first
pending job starts, the estimated start time of remaining jobs may be changed.
Default
Undefined
LSB_TIME_SBD
Syntax LSB_TIME_SBD=timing_level
Description
The timing level for checking how long sbatchd routines run.
Time usage is logged in milliseconds; specify a positive integer.
Example:
LSB_TIME_SBD=1
Default
Undefined

LSB_TIME_SCH
Syntax LSB_TIME_SCH=timing_level
Description
The timing level for checking how long mbschd routines run.
Time usage is logged in milliseconds; specify a positive integer.
Example:
LSB_TIME_SCH=1
Default
Undefined
LSB_UTMP
Syntax
LSB_UTMP=y
| Y
Description
If set, enables registration of user and account information for interactive batch jobs
submitted with
bsub -Ip or bsub -Is. To disable utmp file registration, set
LSB_UTMP to any value other than
y or Y; for example, LSB_UTMP=N.
LSF registers interactive batch jobs the job by adding a entries to the
utmp file on the
execution host when the job starts. After the job finishes, LSF removes the entries for
the job from the
utmp file.
Limitations
Registration of utmp file entries is supported only on SGI IRIX (6.4 and later).
utmp file registration is not supported in a MultiCluster environment.
