LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Default
Not defined. Run limit and runtime estimate are normalized.
BIND_JOB
Syntax
BIND_JOB=Y | N
Description
When BIND_JOB=Y, enables LSF job process processor binding for all sequential jobs
submitted to the application profile. On Linux execution hosts that support this feature, job
processes are hard bind to selected processors.
If processor binding feature is not configured with the BIND_JOB parameter in an application
profile in lsb.applications, the lsf.conf configuration setting takes effect. The
application profile configuration for processor binding overrides the lsf.conf
configuration.
For parallel jobs, LSF binds the job at the first execution host, not other remote hosts. LSF does
not bind remote tasks for parallel jobs because parallel jobs typically exclusively allocate entire
nodes to a job.
Supported platforms
Linux with kernel version 2.6 or higher
Default
N. Processor binding is disabled.
CHKPNT_DIR
Syntax
CHKPNT_DIR=chkpnt_dir
Description
Specifies the checkpoint directory for automatic checkpointing for the application. To enable
automatic checkpoint for the application profile, administrators must specify a checkpoint
directory in the configuration of the application profile.
If CHKPNT_PERIOD, CHKPNT_INITPERIOD or CHKPNT_METHOD was set in an
application profile but CHKPNT_DIR was not set, a warning message is issued and and those
settings are ignored.
The checkpoint directory is the directory where the checkpoint files are created. Specify an
absolute path or a path relative to the current working directory for the job. Do not use
environment variables in the directory path.
If checkpoint-related configuration is specified in both the queue and an application profile,
the application profile setting overrides queue level configuration.
