Support MIG declaration in resource connector templates for gpu VMs

We use to provision new GPU hosts (having MIG enabled using post install) in cloud using resource connector but when the job contains "mig" in the gpu resource requirement, it does not provision the host. When checked upon to declare MIG in the re...

Affinity scheduling must take L3 cache hierarchy into account

Newer CPUs have multiple L3 caches, with dedicated cores per L3 cache. Running multi-threaded jobs on all cores within a shared L3 cache can reduce runtime in our cases up 70%, compared to running over multiple L3 caches. Think of the AMD EPYC 935...

MC scheduling enhancement to enable multiple LSF clusters with same clustername

I think there is bug in how LSF implements multi-cluster functionality. It assumes clustername as uniq/primary key in the list of participating clusters and we still have few LSF clusters with same name - cluster1 (site1), cluster1 (site2), cluste...

Expand API (or bjobs -o option) to report memory reservation on a per-job basis

Determining per-job memory usage is valuable, but we also need to be able to see, on a per-job basis, how much memory job(s) have reserved at a point in time. Partly we need to be able to compare to the actual memory use to see if they're over-res...

Resource connector provider configuration file ( such as cyclecloudprov_config.json) should have encrypted passwords/credentials

Security leak will be avioded. Clear text password are risky to put;.

Map memory reservation to cgroup memory.low

Mapping the memory reservation of a job to the cgroup memory.low could protect jobs from running short on memory, while in parallel allowing more memory to be used if it's available. The soft limit instead of a hard limit should prevent users to b...

Add job group filter to bhist

The ability to find job groups via bhist command after the jobs have been removed from memory.

bjobs -o reserved_mem or bhosts -o reserved_mem

To see how much memory is reserved on a host, we need to parse the bhosts -l <hostname> command, and it doesn't give us info about which job is reserving how much memory. I'd either like to see one of the following: bhosts -o 'jobid reserved...

Set different requeue exit values for different hosts or hostgroups

Sometimes it would be helpful to set different requeue exit values for different hostgroups, something like (i.e. in lsb.applications):REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES 138 linux_hosts 210 windows_hosts 127 which would trigger a requeue for jobs exiting with va...

Increase amount of characters in job description

This enhancement would enable us to store additional job attributes within each job record, such as specific flow information. By enriching the job metadata, machine learning algorithms can leverage this information to make more informed predictio...
