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...

Enhancement request to lsfproxyd

We have workfloads from dozen of users which continously generating very high and sustained job submission requests. Whenever they are starting their work, the grid may grind down to a halt or very slow to process any other request. We want a tier...

lsrun should support an access control list for authorized users

In our cluster, LSF users sometimes run an 'lsrun' and run jobs on the LSF Master!!!! This should never happen, it makes the stability of the LSF master at the mercy of random user jobs. We cannot turn this functionality off for all users, so an a...

Job query LSF API should have a filter to control number of finished jobs returned by mbatchd in order to shorten runtime of RTM gridjobs poller

RTM gridjobs poller queries LSF for job information periodically. LSF CLEAN_PERIOD is set to 6hr, 12hr, 24hr for different clusters in Microsoft, number of finished jobs in mbatchd memory ranges from 200K to 1M. gridjobs parses finished jobs info ...

Consider AMD ccd/l3 cache in affinity string

Hello, Currently, using affinity string, we can target a core, a numa, a socket or memory, but not an AMD CCD (Core Complex Dies, L3 cache shared by 8 or 16 cores) Allowing jobs requesting less cores than available in a CCD (8 or 16 currently) to ...
