Allow Session Scheduler to support the queue level Job Starter when the Session Spreads to Multiple Hosts

In testing of Session Scheduler, it works perfectly, on secondary hosts, it does not seem to respect our job starter which will limit our ability to deploy Session Scheduler more broadly. Closing this gap is important.

Add user group filter for bacct and bhist

To evaluate jobs w.r.t. user groups/fair share groups I would like to have a filter for user groups in bacct and bhist similar to the option -G of bjobs.

bjobs should show LIMITs ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications, please improve it.

Currently LIMITs settings ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications did NOT show in "bjobs -l" output, only job-level setting did. But the LIMITs are still effective in job environment, so it may deliver wrong information to user until j...

Use all applicable NUMA Memory information on a machine to determine available Memory resources before dispatching a job to a machine

We were noticing that jobs were being terminated by LSF with the message: TERM_MEMLIMIT: job killed after reaching LSF memory usage limit.Exited with exit code 137. Yet, this was happening before the job had even consumed the amount of memory rese...

It will reduce the persistence of ZOMBI jobs in LSF to a shorter time period. Here are the two areas that need improvement. 1) Currently, even though the SBD daemons may be running on a host, a job will remain in ZOMBI status until the SBD is rest...

In the latest LSF version, bhosts -o does not have a field to show Reserved resources value. Could you please add a field for memory reserved column in bhosts -o? We can check Reserved Memory in bhosts -l, but it would be helpful if we coul...

bhosts and lshosts should have an option to let them perform more like the scheduler

Currently, if I have a host with two exclusive resources in the lsf.cluster file <hostname> <model> <type> 1 () () () (!res1 !res2) If I run the following bhosts command, it acts like "grep" instead of like the scheduler, and rep...
