Memory enforcement based on Linux cgroup memory subsystem
LSF can impose strict host-level memory and swap limits on systems that support Linux cgroups. These limits cannot be exceeded. All LSF job processes are controlled by the Linux cgroup system. If job processes on a host use more memory than the defined limit, the job is immediately killed by the Linux cgroup memory subsystem. Memory is enforced on a per job and per host basis, not per task. If the host OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 or above, cgroup memory limits are enforced, and LSF is notified to terminate the job. More notification is provided to users through specific termination reasons that are displayed by bhist –l.
