LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

example of how the eauth protocol works. You should write your own eauth executable to
meet the security requirements of your cluster.
LSF_AUTH_DAEMONS
Syntax
LSF_AUTH_DAEMONS=y | Y
Description
Enables LSF daemon authentication when external authentication is enabled
(LSF_AUTH=eauth in the file lsf.conf). Daemons invoke eauth to authenticate each other
as specified by the eauth executable.
Default
Not defined.
LSF_BINDIR
Syntax
LSF_BINDIR=directory
Description
Directory in which all LSF user commands are installed.
Default
LSF_MACHDEP/bin
LSF_BIND_JOB
Syntax
LSF_BIND_JOB=Y | N
Description
When LSF_BIND_JOB=Y, enables cluster-wide processor binding for sequential job
processes. On Linux execution hosts that support this feature, job processes will be hard bound
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
