Static Resources
242 Administering Platform LSF
Static Resources
Static resources are built-in resources that represent host information that does not
change over time, such as the maximum RAM available to user processes or the
number of processors in a machine. Most static resources are determined by the
LIM at start-up time, or when LSF detects hardware configuration changes.
Static resources can be used to select appropriate hosts for particular jobs based on
binary architecture, relative CPU speed, and system configuration.
The resources
ncpus, nprocs, ncores, nthreads, maxmem, maxswp, and maxtmp are
not static on UNIX hosts that support dynamic hardware reconfiguration.
Static resources reported by LIM
Host type (type)
Host type is a combination of operating system and CPU architecture. All
computers that run the same operating system on the same computer architecture
are of the same type. You can add custom host types in the HostType section of
lsf.shared. This alphanumeric value can be up to 39 characters long.
An example of host type is
LINUX86.
Host model (model)
Host model is the combination of host type and CPU speed (CPU factor) of your
machine. All hosts of the same relative type and speed are assigned the same host
model. You can add custom host models in the HostModel section of
lsf.shared.
This alphanumeric value can be up to 39 characters long.
An example of host model is
Intel_IA64.
