One "blimits -w -u <username>" somehow calling other query commands: bparams and bhosts. One such query generates about 25 - 35 MB payload for cluster with high host count (thousands). Request to enhance blimits so that it does not call other query commands like bhosts to reduce overall load on query payload..

Significantly reduce query payload and load on mbatchd

LSF Web Services lsf client binary auth management

Current state: The LSF Web Services lsf binary requires providing the username password and API url every time you authenticate. While this is reasonable for your first authentication further authentications are needlessly complicated as the clien...

Allow a job to request both Project Mode Fast Dispatch resources and Cluster Mode resources at the same time

Customers have demanding license requirements that vary over time. One of the requirements is that license reservation and allocation by cluster works fine in most cases, but for some important and constrained licenses, project mode is the way to ...

auto-requeue for unavail host

When a compute host becomes unreachable or unavailable, LSF should not immediately requeue the affected jobs. Instead, it should wait for a configurable amount of time before triggering the automatic requeue action.

AMD GPU Integration

We are experiencing problem with displaying the correct number of AMD GPUs which are assigned to a LSF job. Even though we request 1 GPU and LSF sets correctly the ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 the command amd-smi displays all of them. We are able to use...

Add Configurable Recall-to-Forward Delay for Multi-Cluster Scheduling

In a Multi-Cluster environment, once a job is forwarded to a remote cluster, it effectively remains there until it is scheduled or completed. As a result, the submission cluster may later have available resources that the job is unable to utilize....

Request span[hosts=1] parameter support in ec2 fleet dynamic slot based capacity. We cannot use spot with right sizing with slot based capacity since our job will not support running across multiple hosts.

We would like to us Spot instances in AWS using ec2 fleet and LSF. We would like to use Dynamic capacity (weighted capacity)from ec2 fleet to choose right instance size. This works with slot based capacity. the moment we use span[hosts=1] paramete...

Affinity compaction / defragmentation

I propose to have automated compaction and defragmentation for jobs dispatched with affinity. Reducing fragmentation will allow more larger jobs to start in the same Numa node (or AMD CCX), having better performance. Ideally this runs automaticall...

Update gridqueues to modify the member hosts bye the select[] clause at the queue level.

The gathering of hosts for the queue level only looks at the HOSTS section, but for customers who use a SELECT[] clause to reduce the queue list the graphs are less meaningful. It's better to reduce the set by passing the RESREQ to the options whe...
