About Platform LSF
Resource allocation
limits
Restrict the amount of a given resource that must be available during job scheduling
for different classes of jobs to start, and which resource consumers the limits apply
to. If all of the resource has been consumed, no more jobs can be started until some
of the resource is released.
Configuration:
◆ lsb.resources—Configure queue-level resource allocation limits for hosts,
users, queues, and projects
Resource
requirements (bsub
-R)
Restrict which hosts the job can run on. Hosts that match the resource
requirements are the candidate hosts. When LSF schedules a job, it collects the load
index values of all the candidate hosts and compares them to the scheduling
conditions. Jobs are only dispatched to a host if all load values are within the
scheduling thresholds.
Commands:
◆ bsub-R—Specify resource requirement string for a job
Configuration:
◆ lsb.queues—Configure resource requirements for queues
