LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

About Platform LSF and LAM/MPI
LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an MPI programming environment and
development system for heterogeneous computers on a network. With LAM, a
dedicated cluster or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel
computer solving one problem.
System requirements
❏ LAM/MPI version 6.5.7 or higher
Assumptions
◆ LAM/MPI is installed and configured correctly
◆ The user's current working directory is part of a shared file system reachable by all
hosts
