LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Use this parameter to improve job throughput and reduce a job’s start time if there are many
jobs running simultaneously on a host. This parameter reduces communication traffic
between sbatchd and PIM on the same host.
When this parameter is not defined or set to n, sbatchd queries PIM as needed for job process
information.
When this parameter is defined, sbatchd does not query PIM immediately as it needs
information; sbatchd only queries PIM every LSF_PIM_SLEEPTIME seconds.
Limitations
When this parameter is defined:
•
sbatchd may be intermittently unable to retrieve process information for jobs whose run
time is smaller than LSF_PIM_SLEEPTIME.
•
It may take longer to view resource usage with bjobs -l.
EGO parameter
EGO_PIM_SLEEPTIME_UPDATE
Default
Not defined
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_BIND
Syntax
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_BIND=time_seconds
Description
Specifies the time in seconds for the poe_w wrapper to keep trying to set up a server socket to
listen on.
poe_w is the wrapper for the IBM poe driver program.
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_BIND can also be set as an environment variable for poe_w to read.
Default
120 seconds
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_SELECT
Syntax
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_SELECT=time_seconds
Description
Specifies the time in seconds for the poe_w wrapper to wait for connections from the
pmd_w wrapper. pmd_w is the wrapper for pmd (IBM PE Partition Manager Daemon).
LSF_POE_TIMEOUT_SELECT can also be set as an environment variable for poe_w to read.
