Job packing on GPUs when MIG is enabled

When MIGs (Multi-instance GPU) are enabled on a multi-GPU server, LSF should pack jobs with smaller number of MIGs on one physical GPU to keep a room for jobs with larger number of MIGs. Currently LSF is distributing the jobs on different physical...

Limit Priority Over Time and Max User Priority by Queue

There are user workflows that require using priority to order flows and their execution. However, when priority over time is enabled, those methods break down. Using Priority Over Time to APS and Priority Queues is essential, but causes issues in ...

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...

Management by RBA Capture Utility of offline DB2 in a Sysplex

At this time if we configure all DB2 we have in a Sysplex in all RBA capture utility we have errors messages on systems where DB2s are down. In a Sysplex and Datasharing groups DB2s members and Single instance could move from LPAR to LPAR dependin...

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...
