Restrict job size requested by parallel jobs
Specifying a list of allowed job sizes (number of tasks)
in queues or application profiles enables LSF to
check the requested job sizes when submitting, modifying, or switching
jobs.
Controlling CPU and memory affinity for NUMA hosts Platform LSF can schedule jobs that are affinity aware. This allows jobs to take advantage of different levels of processing units (NUMA nodes, sockets, cores, and threads). Affinity scheduling is supported only on Linux and Power 7 and Power 8 hosts. Affinity scheduling is supported in Platform LSF Standard Edition and Platform LSF Advanced Edition. Affinity scheduling is not supported on Platform LSF Express Edition.
Running MPI workload through IBM Parallel Environment Runtime Edition Platform LSF integrates
with the IBM Parallel Environment Runtime Edition (IBM PE Runtime
Edition) program product - Version 1.3 or later to run PE jobs through
the IBM Parallel Operating Environment (POE). The integration enables
network-aware scheduling, allowing an LSF job to specify network resource
requirements, collect network information, and schedule the job according
to the requested network resources.
