First-Available Reservation Mode: reserve every alternative resource combination for the head-of-queue job and dispatch on whichever frees first

Summary Add a scheduling/reservation mode in which the top-priority pending job (thenext job scheduled to run) reserves resources across ALL of its alternativeresource combinations simultaneously, rather than committing its reservationto a single ...

AMD GPU Integration

We are experiencing problem with displaying the correct number of AMD GPUs which are assigned to a LSF job. Even though we request 1 GPU and LSF sets correctly the ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 the command amd-smi displays all of them. We are able to use...

Add Configurable Recall-to-Forward Delay for Multi-Cluster Scheduling

In a Multi-Cluster environment, once a job is forwarded to a remote cluster, it effectively remains there until it is scheduled or completed. As a result, the submission cluster may later have available resources that the job is unable to utilize....

Affinity compaction / defragmentation

I propose to have automated compaction and defragmentation for jobs dispatched with affinity. Reducing fragmentation will allow more larger jobs to start in the same Numa node (or AMD CCX), having better performance. Ideally this runs automaticall...

lsrun should support an access control list for authorized users

In our cluster, LSF users sometimes run an 'lsrun' and run jobs on the LSF Master!!!! This should never happen, it makes the stability of the LSF master at the mercy of random user jobs. We cannot turn this functionality off for all users, so an a...

Native LSF support for Kubernetes

K8's support similar to support for Docker would be helpful for teams using LSF and K8's for their CI/CD pipeline.

allow bresize request on job using affinity string.

due to AMD Zen arch processor, we plan to use affinity string for all jobs to force job processes to run into the smallest number of ccd, to improve performance. but bresize increase command refuse to work when an affinity string is present in the...

Job packing on GPUs when MIG is enabled

When MIGs (Multi-instance GPU) are enabled on a multi-GPU server, LSF should pack jobs with smaller number of MIGs on one physical GPU to keep a room for jobs with larger number of MIGs. Currently LSF is distributing the jobs on different physical...

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 ...

MC scheduling enhancement to enable multiple LSF clusters with same clustername

I think there is bug in how LSF implements multi-cluster functionality. It assumes clustername as uniq/primary key in the list of participating clusters and we still have few LSF clusters with same name - cluster1 (site1), cluster1 (site2), cluste...
