LSF Version 7.3 - Running Jobs With Platform LSF

Tasks are run without using the batch processing features of LSF but still with the
advantage of resource requirements and selection of the best host to run the task based
on load.
◆ lsrun—Submit an interactive task
◆ lsgrun—Submit an interactive task to a group of hosts
◆ See also LSF utilities such as ch, lsacct, lsacctmrg, lslogin, lsplace,
lsload, lsloadadj, lseligible, lsmon, lstcsh
An application or command that does not make sense to run remotely. For example, the
ls command on UNIX.
◆ lsltasks—View and add tasks
◆ lsf.task—Configure systemwide resource requirements for tasks
◆ lsf.task.cluster—Configure clusterwide resource requirements for tasks
◆ .lsftasks—Configure user-specific tasks
An application or command that can be run on another machine in the cluster.
◆ lsrtasks—View and add tasks
◆ lsf.task—Configure systemwide resource requirements for tasks
◆ lsf.task.cluster—Configure clusterwide resource requirements for tasks
◆ .lsftasks—Configure user-specific tasks
Host types and host models
Hosts in LSF are characterized by host type and host model.
The following example has HP hosts. The host type is HPPA. Host models can be
HPN4000, HPJ210, etc.
The combination of operating system version and host CPU architecture.
All computers that run the same operating system on the same computer architecture
are of the same type—in other words, binary-compatible with each other.
Each host type usually requires a different set of LSF binary files.
◆ lsinfo -t—View all host types defined in lsf.shared
◆ Defined in lsf.shared
