Affinity scheduling must take L3 cache hierarchy into account

Newer CPUs have multiple L3 caches, with dedicated cores per L3 cache. Running multi-threaded jobs on all cores within a shared L3 cache can reduce runtime in our cases up 70%, compared to running over multiple L3 caches. Think of the AMD EPYC 935...

LSF job query filter on pending jobs without providing pending reasons

For large LSF clusters, the bjobs command takes significant time to gather the pending reasons (-p, -pei, -pe, -pi) making the query much longer than requesting all jobs. Suggest a new bjobs option to filter on pending jobs without supplying the p...

Add possibility to assign cores from the same CCX in AMD CPUs to make use of the same L3 cache.

With a specific 2-core workload we noticed significant performance improvements of about 50% in shorter runtime when both cores reside on the same L3 cache group (CCX) of an AMD EPYC CPU.Therefore it would be very beneficial to be able to have LSF...

tool to list out active and default base params - lsparams

Think of 'bparams' and the level of details that it provides with args '-la'. This helps in figuring out what all params are configured as default or what defaults values are affecting the scheduling. Such a tool does not exist for LSF Base config...

Cleanup user details with bqueues -lr output if they don't have running/done jobs in system

Currently, we can find thousands of entries for all users even though they have ZERO STARTED jobs as listed in bqueues -lr output. For some of larger farms, these entries are close to 7M records and bqueues -lr takes long time to return the data. ...
