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...

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...

LSF to control SSH sessions on hosts running LSF jobs

Do not start jobs with less than X cores per host

It is useful for when ptiles or slots do not fulfill your needs. Using an example, we have an MPI code that requests 100 cores. We don't tell LSF how to grab those cores, and sometimes it will go out and span across 12 nodes, taking 19 cores on on...
