lsb.queues), or if an estimated run time is specified at the application level (RUNTIME in
lsb.applications), backfill parallel jobs can use job slots reserved by the other jobs, as
long as the backfill job can finish before the predicted start time of the jobs with the reservation.
Unlike memory reservation, which applies both to sequential and parallel jobs, slot reservation
applies only to parallel jobs.
Example
SLOT_RESERVE=MAX_RESERVE_TIME[5]
This example specifies that parallel jobs have up to 5 cycles of MBD_SLEEP_TIME (5 minutes,
by default) to reserve sufficient job slots to start.
Default
Not defined. No job slots are reserved.
SLOT_SHARE
Syntax
SLOT_SHARE=integer
Description
Share of job slots for queue-based fairshare. Represents the percentage of running jobs (job
slots) in use from the queue. SLOT_SHARE must be greater than zero (0) and less than or
equal to 100.
The sum of SLOT_SHARE for all queues in the pool does not need to be 100%. It can be more
or less, depending on your needs.
Default
Not defined
SNDJOBS_TO
Syntax
SNDJOBS_TO=queue_name@cluster_name ...
Description
Defines a MultiCluster send-jobs queue.
Specify remote queue names, in the form queue_name@cluster_name, separated by a space.
This parameter is ignored if lsb.queues HOSTS specifies remote (borrowed) resources.
Example
SNDJOBS_TO=queue2@cluster2 queue3@cluster2 queue3@cluster3
