LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

Note that both the bsub -n 4 and Nastran dmp=4 options are used. The value
for
-n and dmp must be the same.
◆ Parallel job through LSF requesting 4 processors, no more than 1 processor per
host:
% bsub -n 4 -a nastran -R "nastran span[ptile=1]"
nastran example dmp=4
Nastran on Linux using LAM/MPI
You must write a script that will pick up the LSB_HOSTS variable and provide the
chosen hosts to the Nastran program. You can then submit the script using
bsub:
bsub -a nastran lammpi -q hpc_linux -n 2 -o out -e err -R "span[ptile=1]"
lsf_nast
This will submit a 2-way job which will put its standard output in the file named out
and standard error in a file named
err. The ptile=1 option tells LSF to choose at
most 1 CPU per node chosen for the job.
The following sample lsf_nast script only represents a starting point, but deals with
the host specification for LAM/MPI. This script should be modified at your site before
use.
