Extend time period that historical run time is tracked for fairshare

We use historical run time as the main component of fairshare to determine job priority and ensure that users receive the appropriate amount of run time on our clusters. The current behavior in LSF with respect to historical run time is that any t...

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...

Cgroups CPU subsystem support

We want to ensure that jobs get the CPU time according to the amount of slots requested, especially on nodes shared by multiple jobs. This has always been an important goal in HPC environments. To achieve this we can use affinity, however CPU affi...

Enhance Processor Affinity Management in Platform LSF To Address All Classical Execution Configurations for HPC Workloads

On behalf of our client, I have investigated the proper way to set the Platform LSF Affinity String ("-R affinity") in order to handle the standard execution configurations of their scientific applications. By "execution configurations", I mean th...

Enable RTM to honour usergroup permissions so that a user can control all jobs via RTM that they can via LSF

We have configured many of our usergroups to be their own admin, which means that any member of that usergroup can manage any job submitted by any user via that usergroup. However, in RTM Grid->Job Info ->Details page the user can only contr...

Read data by sourcing regardless of a local lim

Dear I want to explain the customer's request. Here is an execution server with a lim daemon. On this execution server, the customer wants to send queries to another cluster.(In this case, the LSF_LIM_PORT of both clusters is the same, because it ...

Run multiple jobarrays in parallel in a queue when queue has UJOB_LIMIT specified

We currently use LSF to distribute electrical analog design simulations to our cluster. These simulations can be very short (>3 minutes) to very long (<48hrs). We have a queue system with timelimits, which means users can select a queue base...

one to many job mapping

-- the job submission user needs be one particular user, -- the job execution user should be mapped to various users. In order for LSF to support such use case, an enhancement is to add 1) a new bsub option to specify the job execution user 2) a n...
