LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Ways to Configure Fairshare
326 Administering Platform LSF
2 Configure fairshare and assign the overwhelming majority of shares to the key
users:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = production
FAIRSHARE = USER_SHARES[[key_users@, 2000] [others, 1]]
...
End Queue
In the above example, key users have 2000 shares each, while other users
together have only 1 share. This makes it virtually impossible for other users’
jobs to get dispatched unless none of the users in the
key_users group has jobs
waiting to run.
If you want the same fairshare policy to apply to jobs from all queues, configure
host partition fairshare in a similar way.
Configure static priority fairshare
Static priority fairshare assigns resources to the user with the most shares. Resource
usage is ignored.
1 To implement static priority fairshare, edit lsb.params and set all the
weighting factors used in the dynamic priority formula to 0 (zero).
◆ Set CPU_TIME_FACTOR to 0
◆ Set RUN_TIME_FACTOR to 0
◆ Set RUN_JOB_FACTOR to 0
◆ Set COMMITTED_RUN_TIME_FACTOR to 0
If two users compete for resources, the most important user’s job always runs first.
