PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT

Syntax

PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT=y | Y

Description

If defined, LSF schedules jobs based on the number of slots assigned to the hosts instead of the number of CPUs. For example, if MXJ is set to "-", then LSF considers the default value for number of CPUs for that host. These slots can be defined by host in lsb.hosts or by slot limit in lsb.resources.

All slot-related messages still show the word “processors”, but actually refer to “slots” instead. Similarly, all scheduling activities also use slots instead of processors.

Default

Set to Y at time of installation. If otherwise undefined, then N (disabled).
