Email disable for mbatchd and enable for sbatchd

Currently , there is no way to seperately disable mbatchd emails v/s sbatchd emails. Means. We have set email set to N in lsf.conf , so that by default job report emails are not sent. However some users who need email can set in their environment ...

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...

Affinity support for windows compute servers

We have a mixed Linux/Windows cluster. Unfortunately the affinity string in the resource requirement is not supported on Windows. This leads to several problems: 1. jobs with affinity settings will not be dispatched to windows nodes 2. less perfor...

In the world of Multi-core processors, the context switches per second has become a KPI. It should be a standard performance metric like mem, r1m, etc.

When we try to oversubscribe hosts, it would be very beneficial to have ctx/second available as a base metric. It's available in all OS' these days. We could set a busy threshold for that say above 40k/second. For the longest time (maybe 31 years)...

Create a way to prevent a job with an SLA from using another SLA's hosts/slots/memory if the other SLA is under-committed

LSF hosts come and go, and when you create an allocation that uses exact numbers, there are times when a Pool can be over and under committed. In the case of an under-committed pool today, consumers from other pools can leverage free slots from th...

Allow user access tokens to have a lifetime similar to 'remember me' support industry best practice

Currently, we have robots that submit jobs using the Web Interface. The tokens expiration is currently static, and there is no API endpoint to determine the validity of the token which means that job submission and controls can fail randomly witho...

Resource connector provider configuration file ( such as cyclecloudprov_config.json) should have encrypted passwords/credentials

Security leak will be avioded. Clear text password are risky to put;.

Get available VM count value from cyclecloud provider for resource connector templates using badmin rc view -c templates command

It would be useful if quota from the Azure backend is completely used, LSF admins can easily check if VMs are available in the quota from Azure.

Allow RTM to show jobs 'submitted' between ranges from job details page

We are in the middle of a bench-marking activity and it occurred to me that there is now way to say in RTM show me jobs that were submitted between these two dates. It would be helpful to have that filter available.
