Add cpu-shares to docker jobs

LSF sets for every job the cpu.weight in cgroup v2 to make sure each job uses the CPUs based on number of requested tasks and total slots on host running the job. This is not the case with docker jobs. All processes created by docker have default ...

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...

Rate Limiting Mechanism for LWS

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...

Enhance LSF daemon intellegent cpu binding

Currently Qualcomm manually configure LSF daemon cpu daemon cpu binding. They are looking to LSF intelligent daemon cpu bind feature. But using numa maps command, it doesn't show optimal allocation. Sometime the memory is not on the same numa.
