License Scheduler - Minimum Preemption Time

It's been observed when the license scheduler preempts a job to free up license resources, the job can occasionally be resumed within 1-2 seconds if license features are freed up during that time. This leads to behavior where processes do not prop...

Ability to disable job requeuing in google resource connector when jobs exit with TERM_RC_RECLAIM

We have jobs that should not be requeued after partially running due to corrupting the job output data. We would like to have a queue level parameter to disable requeuing of jobs that exit for TERM_RC_RECLAIM. To be consistent with other features,...

Allow removal of a host from an advance reservation while reservation jobs are running on the host

Currently a host needs to be completely empty of reservation jobs before it can be removed from the advance reservation using the "brsvmod rmhost" command. Given how an "open" reservation will not terminate jobs once the relevant reservation is ex...

Limit Priority Over Time and Max User Priority by Queue

There are user workflows that require using priority to order flows and their execution. However, when priority over time is enabled, those methods break down. Using Priority Over Time to APS and Priority Queues is essential, but causes issues in ...

Add the Linux PAM support in LSF

Dear all, we have several applications unable to work properly when they are executed by launching Vnc jobs. We receive several dbus and dconf error messages which can be traced back to the fact that the directory /run/user/$uid isn’t found. This ...

Lifecycle management of logs in LSF license scheduler

LSF License Scheduler generates blcollect.log and bid.log, and these logs increase over time. Since the license scheduler does not provide a log management feature, when the logs become too large, the administrator must move the files. Of course, ...

Consider AMD ccd in affinity string

Hello, Currently, using affinity string, we can target a core, a numa, a socket or memory, but not an AMD CCD (Core Complex Dies, L3 cache shared by 8 or 16 cores) Allowing jobs requesting less cores than available in a CCD (8 or 16 currently) to ...

RTM: GPU Utilization and GPU Mem Utilization graphs for jobs based on the Host level graphs

Current state challenges: While there are per job GPU graphs they require DCGM and are restricted to only exclusive process gpu jobs. DCGM adds complexity and precludes a number of GPUs particularly ones that might be considered gamer cards as the...
