LSF_BIND_JOB

LSF_BIND_JOB Specifies the processor binding policy for sequential and parallel job processes that run on a single host.

Syntax

Description

Note: LSF_BIND_JOB is deprecated in LSF Standard Edition and LSF Advanced Edition. You should enable LSF CPU and memory affinity scheduling in with the AFFINITY parameter in lsb.hosts. If both LSF_BIND_JOB and affinity scheduling are enabled, affinity scheduling takes effect, and LSF_BIND_JOB is disabled. LSF_BIND_JOB and BIND_JOB are the only affinity options available in LSF Express Edition.

On Linux execution hosts that support this feature, job processes are hard bound to selected processors.

If processor binding feature is not configured with the BIND_JOB parameter in an application profile in lsb.applications, the LSF_BIND_JOB configuration setting lsf.conf takes effect. The application profile configuration for processor binding overrides the lsf.conf configuration.

For backwards compatibility:

LSF_BIND_JOB=Y is interpreted as LSF_BIND_JOB=BALANCE
LSF_BIND_JOB=N is interpreted as LSF_BIND_JOB=NONE

Supported platforms

Linux with kernel version 2.6 or higher

Default

Not defined. Processor binding is disabled.
