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...

Concurrent images copies should also be added in DB2 log analysis tool

While working on the a request for a client, we found that DB2 log analysis tool doesn't support concurrent image copies to fetch info from.

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...

Add possibility to assign cores from the same CCX in AMD CPUs to make use of the same L3 cache.

With a specific 2-core workload we noticed significant performance improvements of about 50% in shorter runtime when both cores reside on the same L3 cache group (CCX) of an AMD EPYC CPU.Therefore it would be very beneficial to be able to have LSF...

job select statement improvement

I have hosts with exclusive resources and some with a dynamic resource. A few hosts have two exclusive resources. The job submit: $ bsub -R 'select[ defined(res1) || (defined(res2) && dynamic_pool==loaner_host)]' I would expect this job to...

INCLUDE directive for lsf.cluster file

Its great to have INCLUDE functionality added in LSF and we're using heavily in our multiple LSF clusters. Its makes it easy to manage many clusters for common config edits and keep the farms compliant. I am logging this RFE to extend this feature...
