Enhance Advanced Reservation

We need an enhanced Advanced Reservation, we can call it "soft" AR. The "soft" AR does not allow new jobs from other users to use the reserved host when the AR is active, but it allows the existing jobs from other uses keep running until complete.

Allow Resource Reservations to be Calculated at Dispatch Time

Currently, LSF allows a customer to define a very specific resource reservation for things like license as follows: -R "rusage[mylic=7:blah]" However, many customers would like to run their jobs using a range of CPU options. For example: bsub -n 2...

Spectrum LSF should allow user to specify GPU compute mode at job submission

Currently, the GPU compute mode must be statically set on a node in order to use the LSF implementation of GPU resources: ngpus_shared, ngpus_excl_t, ngpus_excl_p. There is no way that an administrator can predict the appropriate mode the user wan...

[clearcase] bjobs and bsub should provide reason why job did not start on exec host

We use Platform LSF 9.1 in conjunction with ClearCase. In situations where CC is not working on the execution host, LSF provides a misleading message (a bug) as well as insufficient information to determine that the execution host has a problem. S...

Define resource limit for each Application Profile

(1) We define many queues to limit resource usage. But there are too many queues in our cluster. That's hard to manage and not easy to use. (2) We are considering "esub method" to limit "per-applicaiton" slots usage for this customer, but that way...

Format options for bacct, similar to those for bjobs(Address in 114254)

Similar to how bjobs has -UF and -o , it would be really useful to have the same reporting capabilities for bacct

Support LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS for "tmp".

Support LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS for "tmp". LSF support "LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS" for core/memory/stack/swap (man page of lsf.conf), but didn't implement to support "tmp". When I defined LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS=GB, the value of resource requirement for "tmp" d...
