Consider AMD ccd in affinity string

Hello, Currently, using affinity string, we can target a core, a numa, a socket or memory, but not an AMD CCD (Core Complex Dies, L3 cache shared by 8 or 16 cores) Allowing jobs requesting less cores than available in a CCD (8 or 16 currently) to ...

allow bresize request on job using affinity string.

due to AMD Zen arch processor, we plan to use affinity string for all jobs to force job processes to run into the smallest number of ccd, to improve performance. but bresize increase command refuse to work when an affinity string is present in the...

Merge RES_REQ also when alternative RES_REQs are used

Currently settings from the app-profile are not merges with the job/queue settings when a alternative RES_REQ is provided in the submission command (bsub). We require this because we have a need to specify alternative RES_REQs in the submission an...

Increase available number of global job ids for LSF

Current job id is limited to 32b. With ever growing number of jobs and scaling of multi-cluster use, the job id should be extended beyond 32b to avoid frequent rollover situations and/or cases of redundant ids. Recommend to increase to 64b or more.

TThis is SUPPOSED to be for z WORKLOAD SCHEDULER. I will open a new IDEA -- this zQUERY idea can be ignoredHCENeed to be able to customize TdwcGlobalSettings within the zconnector, for example, to increase the value for zosHttpTimeout to avoid timeout issues with RESTAPI calls

GSLA Resource Loaning - Add the ability to loan to specific users or projects

When a GSLA resource pool is defined for a specific type of workload, it is not practical or desirable to loan to just any other type of job profile. The work-a-round today is to include a resource limit definition to prevent this from occurring. ...

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...
