Job IDLE Detection (JOB_IDLE in lsb.queues) need "differential" idle detection

Sometimes we see interactive jobs that after some computation time (e.g. of several hours)the computation is finished and they (might) wait for a user interaction. So the job essentiallydoes nothing but keeping the LSF job running and resources al...

Support for Restricting Specific Command Options with values

Currently, the commands.json configuration supports restricting command options only when they are specified without associated values. It does not support restricting options that include values (e.g., -u all in bjobs). This limitation prevents s...

Support for User Groups in user Field of esecurity.json

Currently, the user field in the esecurity.json configuration only supports individual usernames and does not allow specifying user groups. This limitation makes it difficult to manage access control efficiently in environments with a large number...

Rate Limiting Mechanism for LWS

Currently, LWS (LSF Web Services) does not provide a built-in rate limiting mechanism similar to lsfproxyd. In high-load scenarios, where a large number of concurrent requests are sent to LWS, this can lead to performance degradation or service in...

Enhance LSF daemon intellegent cpu binding

Currently Qualcomm manually configure LSF daemon cpu daemon cpu binding. They are looking to LSF intelligent daemon cpu bind feature. But using numa maps command, it doesn't show optimal allocation. Sometime the memory is not on the same numa.

LSF to track and report IO usage per job

Disk space is a valuable resource like memory or GPU/CPU/slots. Many IC design applications consume significant disk space when writing simulation results to disk. Tracking disk usage or I/O rate **PER JOB** will allow cluster administrators to mo...

improve bconf .

we have a large lsf cluster which contains many usergroup with fairshares. so every time we want to use bconf to update usershares, it would take 3 mins to complete and during process, the mbatchd is not responding. all detail you can refer to bel...

Queue level cgroup enablement

Hi - we have a large cluster that services many different types of workloads. To better "bucket" these workloads, we have queues set up with rules that define how the jobs must run (or be submitted). One problem we have is that some of the workloa...

Request for configuration parameter “HNAME_MAX_NUM” to limit the number of hname conditions in RES_REQ.

In production environment, automated scripts (for example, Synopsys CDPL) generate very long RES_REQ strings with thousands of (hname!='hostX') conditions in the select clause, which has led to mbatchd/mbschd performance degradation and scheduling...

bhist - Add support for customized output format ("-o" option)

Some LSF CLI commands support customized output format ("-o" option). For example, bjobs command:bjobs -o "JOBID USER JOB_NAME START_TIME" Currently "bhist" command doesn't support "-o" parameter and it would be appreciated if it can be added in t...
