LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

ADMINISTRATORS
Syntax
ADMINISTRATORS=user_name | user_group ...
Description
List of queue administrators. To specify a Windows user account or user group, include the
domain name in uppercase letters (DOMAIN_NAME\user_name or DOMAIN_NAME
\user_group).
Queue administrators can perform operations on any user’s job in the queue, as well as on the
queue itself.
Default
Not defined. You must be a cluster administrator to operate on this queue.
APS_PRIORITY
Syntax
APS_PRIORITY=WEIGHT[[factor, value] [subfactor, value]...]...] LIMIT[[factor, value]
[subfactor, value]...]...] GRACE_PERIOD[[factor, value] [subfactor, value]...]...]
Description
Specifies calculation factors for absolute priority scheduling (APS). Pending jobs in the queue
are ordered according to the calculated APS value.
If weight of a subfactor is defined, but the weight of parent factor is not defined, the parent
factor weight is set as 1.
The WEIGHT and LIMIT factors are floating-point values. Specify a value for
GRACE_PERIOD in seconds (values), minutes (valuem), or hours (valueh).
The default unit for grace period is hours.
For example, the following sets a grace period of 10 hours for the MEM factor, 10 minutes for
the JPRIORITY factor, 10 seconds for the QPRIORITY factor, and 10 hours (default) for the
RSRC factor:
GRACE_PERIOD[[MEM,10h] [JPRIORITY, 10m] [QPRIORITY,10s] [RSRC, 10]]
You cannot specify zero (0) for the WEIGHT, LIMIT, and GRACE_PERIOD of any factor or
subfactor.
APS queues cannot configure cross-queue fairshare (FAIRSHARE_QUEUES). The
QUEUE_GROUP parameter replaces FAIRSHARE_QUEUES, which is obsolete in LSF 7.0.
Suspended (bstop) jobs and migrated jobs (bmig) are always scheduled before pending jobs.
For migrated jobs, LSF keeps the existing job priority information.
If LSB_REQUEUE_TO_BOTTOM and LSB_MIG2PEND are configured in lsf.conf, the
migrated jobs keep their APS information. When LSB_REQUEUE_TO_BOTTOM and
LSB_MIG2PEND are configured, the migrated jobs need to compete with other pending jobs
based on the APS value. If you want to reset the APS value, the you should use brequeue, not
bmig.
