bsub should accept a cpu_efficiency parameter to allow cpu over-commiting in the pool

It's rare for a job to achieve close to 100% cpu efficiency. Often, jobs have a peak cpu requirement during its execution lifetime but use less cpus in average. If bsub could be told that a job is expected to run with a given cpu efficiency, LSF c...

Add support for GPU jobs in brun

Currently, the brun command can force a non-gpu job to run using various numbers of CPU's on one to many hosts, but this is not possible for GPU jobs. Add the ability to specify the GPU's or gpu_id's for a forced run gpu job to use, and follow the...

Cleanup user details with bqueues -lr output if they don't have running/done jobs in system

Currently, we can find thousands of entries for all users even though they have ZERO STARTED jobs as listed in bqueues -lr output. For some of larger farms, these entries are close to 7M records and bqueues -lr takes long time to return the data. ...

Prevent LSF from dispatching jobs to problematic hosts consistently

Some jobs are dispatched to a host and failed because the communication between MBATCHD and SBATCHD is failed. The host keeps in OK status and the jobs keep dispatching to the host, which makes the job can not run for a long time. The communicatio...

Relax GPU affinity while maintaining Core affinity

Prior to the introduction of the LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=extend it was possible to have jobs using core affinity and be assigned to cores on a cpu that is not directly connected to the gpu that was assigned to the job. After the introduction it will al...

dynamically change the number of UJOB_LIMIT

I'd like to dynamically change the number of UJOB_LIMIT. For example that my total slots for normal.q is 3024, and my UJOB_LIMIT is set to 1000. If my number of RUN is 2733 so close to my total slots of 3024, is there a way to detect that and chan...
