Specify job priority

Procedure

Job priority is specified at submission using bsub and modified after submission using bmod. Jobs submitted without a priority are assigned the default priority of MAX_USER_PRIORITY/2.

bsub -sp prioritybmod [-sp priority | -spn] job_ID

Where:

-sp priority

Specifies the job priority. Valid values for priority are any integers between 1 and MAX_USER_PRIORITY (displayed by bparams -l). Incorrect job priorities are rejected.

LSF and queue administrators can specify priorities beyond MAX_USER_PRIORITY for jobs they own.

-spn

Sets the job priority to the default priority of MAX_USER_PRIORITY/2 (displayed by bparams -l).
