Submitting and Monitoring Jobs
◆ “bsub command”
◆ “Running jobs on any host type”
◆ “Viewing nodes allocated to your job”
◆ “Example job submissions”
bsub command
To submit a job, use the bsub command.
bsub -ext[sched] "RMS[[ allocation_type ][; topology ][; flags ]]"
job_name
Specify topology scheduling policy options for RMS jobs either in the -extsched
option, or with DEFAULT_EXTSCHED or MANDATORY_EXTSCHED in the
rms
queue definition in
lsb.queues.
The options set by -extsched can be combined with the queue-level
MANDATORY_EXTSCHED or DEFAULT_EXTSCHED parameters. If
-extsched and MANDATORY_EXTSCHED set the same option, the
MANDATORY_EXTSCHED setting is used. If
-extsched and
DEFAULT_EXTSCHED set the same options, the
-extsched setting is used.
The -extsched syntax in the form -extsched "extsched_options" is obsolete
(for example, -extsched "RMS_SNODE"). You should use the syntax of the
form -extsched "RMS[extsched_options]" (for example,
-extsched "RMS[RMS_SNODE]").
Shell-specific command syntax is not supported when submitting jobs to
run in RMS.
For example, bsub "cmd1|cmd2" is not valid because of the pipe (|).
If you use RMS_MCONT or RMS_SNODE allocation options, the ptile option in
the span section of the resource requirement string (
bsub -R "span[ptile= n ]") is
not supported.
You should use
extsched "RMS[ptile=n]" to define the locality of jobs instead of
-R "span[ptile=n]".
◆ allocation_type
Specifies the type of node allocation:
RMS_SNODE | RMS_SLOAD | RMS_MCONT
where
❖ RMS_SNODE
Specifies sorted node allocation. Nodes do not need to be contiguous: gaps are
allowed between the leftmost and rightmost nodes of the allocation map.
