Do not start jobs with less than X cores per host

It is useful for when ptiles or slots do not fulfill your needs. Using an example, we have an MPI code that requests 100 cores. We don't tell LSF how to grab those cores, and sometimes it will go out and span across 12 nodes, taking 19 cores on on...

Dear all, we have several applications unable to work properly when they are executed by launching Vnc jobs. We receive several dbus and dconf error messages which can be traced back to the fact that the directory /run/user/$uid isn’t found. This ...

Support combination of MIG and DCGM in GPUs with LSF

I got confirmation from dev team. Unfortunately, the combination of MIG and DCGM is not supported yet. So, for now, you cannot get job GPU information if MIG is enabled. You can raise an RFE on this matter so we can keep track of the request.
