LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

PRIORITY
Syntax
PRIORITY=integer
Description
Specifies the relative queue priority for dispatching jobs. A higher value indicates a higher job-
dispatching priority, relative to other queues.
LSF schedules jobs from one queue at a time, starting with the highest-priority queue. If
multiple queues have the same priority, LSF schedules all the jobs from these queues in first-
come, first-served order.
LSF queue priority is independent of the UNIX scheduler priority system for time-sharing
processes. In LSF, the NICE parameter is used to set the UNIX time-sharing priority for batch
jobs.
integer
Specify a number greater than or equal to 1, where 1 is the lowest priority.
Default
1
PROCESSLIMIT
Syntax
PROCESSLIMIT=[default_limit] maximum_limit
Description
Limits the number of concurrent processes that can be part of a job.
By default, if a default process limit is specified, jobs submitted to the queue without a job-
level process limit are killed when the default process limit is reached.
If you specify only one limit, it is the maximum, or hard, process limit. If you specify two limits,
the first one is the default, or soft, process limit, and the second one is the maximum process
limit.
Default
Unlimited
PROCLIMIT
Syntax
PROCLIMIT=[minimum_limit [default_limit]] maximum_limit
Description
Maximum number of slots that can be allocated to a job. For parallel jobs, the maximum
number of processors that can be allocated to the job.
