About application profiles
Use application profiles to map common execution requirements to
application-specific job containers. For example, you can define different job types
according to the properties of the applications that you use; your FLUENT jobs can
have different execution requirements from your CATIA jobs, but they can all be
submitted to the same queue.
The following application profile defines the execution requirements for the
FLUENT application:
Begin Application
NAME = fluent
DESCRIPTION = FLUENT Version 6.2
CPULIMIT = 180/hostA # 3 hours of host hostA
FILELIMIT = 20000
DATALIMIT = 20000 # jobs data segment limit
CORELIMIT = 20000
PROCLIMIT = 5 # job processor limit
PRE_EXEC = /usr/local/lsf/misc/testq_pre >> /tmp/pre.out
REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES = 55 34 78
End Application
See the lsb.applications template file for additional application profile
examples.
