JOB_SCHEDULING_INTERVAL

Syntax

JOB_SCHEDULING_INTERVAL=seconds | milliseconds ms

Description

Time interval at which mbatchd sends jobs for scheduling to the scheduling daemon mbschd along with any collected load information. Specify in seconds, or include the keyword ms to specify in milliseconds.

If set to 0, there is no interval between job scheduling sessions.

The smaller the value of this parameter, the quicker jobs are scheduled. However, when the master batch daemon spends more time doing job scheduling, it has less time to respond to user commands. To have a balance between speed of job scheduling and response to the LSF commands, start with a setting of 0 or 1, and increase if users see the message “Batch system not responding...".

Valid Value

Number of seconds or milliseconds greater than or equal to zero (0).

Default

Set at time of installation to 1 second for the DEFAULT and PARALLEL configuration templates, and to 50ms for the HIGH_THROUGHPUT configuration template. If otherwise undefined, then set to 5 seconds.
