Extend time period that historical run time is tracked for fairshare

We use historical run time as the main component of fairshare to determine job priority and ensure that users receive the appropriate amount of run time on our clusters. The current behavior in LSF with respect to historical run time is that any t...

Fairshare dynamic priority to use job count instead of job slots

The fairshare formula uses job_slots with RUN_JOB_FACTOR. Looking to have a formula that uses a job_count that represents only the number of jobs (excluding the slots or tasks requested per job). A scenario for this is when a queue is set up to ...

Application Center does not allow a user to view the currently allocated CPU's from the table view. The workaround provided by the support team in unacceptable as it generates a large degree of system load, and the resulting data is not sortable

[clearcase] bjobs and bsub should provide reason why job did not start on exec host

Define resource limit for each Application Profile

LSF Resource connector should select template for minimum number of servers

LSF Resource connector selects the template based on the resources and priority defined in the configuration file. This is good approach for a single job. However, when there are multiple jobs (which is the case mostly), this approach is not suita...
