LSF Version 7.3 - Running Jobs With Platform LSF

◆ bjobs -l—View suspending conditions for a particular job and the scheduling
thresholds that control when a job is resumed
◆ lsb.hosts—Configure thresholds for hosts
◆ lsb.queues—Configure thresholds for queues
Limit the use of resources while a job is running. Jobs that consume more than the
specified amount of a resource are signalled or have their priority lowered.
◆ lsb.queues—Configure resource usage limits for queues
Resource limits specified at the queue level are hard limits while those specified with job
submission are soft limits. See
setrlimit(2) man page for concepts of hard and soft
limits.
Restrict the amount of a given resource that must be available during job scheduling for
different classes of jobs to start, and which resource consumers the limits apply to. If all
of the resource has been consumed, no more jobs can be started until some of the
resource is released.
◆ lsb.resources—Configure queue-level resource allocation limits for hosts,
users, queues, and projects
Restrict which hosts the job can run on. Hosts that match the resource requirements are
the candidate hosts. When LSF schedules a job, it collects the load index values of all the
candidate hosts and compares them to the scheduling conditions. Jobs are only
dispatched to a host if all load values are within the scheduling thresholds.
◆ bsub-R—Specify resource requirement string for a job
◆ lsb.queues—Configure resource requirements for queues
