Queue level cgroup enablement

Hi - we have a large cluster that services many different types of workloads. To better "bucket" these workloads, we have queues set up with rules that define how the jobs must run (or be submitted). One problem we have is that some of the workloa...

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...

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

Allow user access tokens to have a lifetime similar to 'remember me' support industry best practice

Currently, we have robots that submit jobs using the Web Interface. The tokens expiration is currently static, and there is no API endpoint to determine the validity of the token which means that job submission and controls can fail randomly witho...

Set license ownership per user
