LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

PAM
The Parallel Application Manager (PAM) is the point of control for LSF. PAM is fully
integrated with LSF. PAM interfaces the user application with LSF. For all parallel
application processes (tasks), PAM:
◆ Monitors and forwards control signals to parallel tasks
◆ Monitors resource usage while the user application is running
◆ Passes job-level resource limits to sbatchd for enforcement
◆ Collects resource usage information and exit status upon termination
See “pam Command Reference” on page 229 for more information about PAM.
