fairshare policy within a leaf node of fairshare tree based on application type or project or user

Fairshare applies to the leaf level project code (user group) and within a user the jobs are dispatched on the order in which they are submitted . The order can be altered by changing the priority using "-sp" butt his allows only to specify array3...

user max priority issue

When user submits with larger user priority than MAX_USER_PRIORITY, the job should be accepted with MAX_USER_PRIORITY instead of being rejected. So if MAX_USER_PRIORITY is 100, and user submits with -sp 101 it should still take job with job priori...

Job Preemption fails for LSF host(group) based slot limit

LSF based job preemption doesn't work when hitting host/host-group based CPU slot limits.The reason cited by IBM is that in LSF, currently, the system counts the no. of CPU slots for preempted/suspended jobs towards respecting the limit. This is n...

LSF Cross-Queue Fairshare needs new mode to perform fairshare over multiple prioritized queues

Currently (v9/v10), when crossqueue fairshare (CQFS) w/ DISPATCH_ORDER=queue is enabled, actual job dispatch is based on queue priority which overrides any fairshare calculated priority. In our opinion (and after review with IBM staff), this compl...

Collect I/O per LSF job as a resource to be reported to RTM

As number of CPUs per machine rises, the I/O to disk rises proportionally, but the bandwidth to the disk generally does not scale. We have found that in high-cpu machines, the system can grind to a near halt due to overload of the disk I/O. We can...

RTM Database - Selective Data storage based up ClusterID

In RTM I have several clusters. They are identified by ClusterID numbers. There is a ClusterID which is Test or LAB cluster. I use that cluster to test LSF configurations. I run several 1000 jobs. As a result in current configuration the Job start...

Preempt real memory usage reported by a preemptable job

Memory preemption only works with the reserved memory (rusage[mem=X]) by the preemptable job. However, if the preemptable job uses more memory than the reserved, it may happen that a LSF thinks a preemptive job does not fit on the node because of ...

Alternate Job Collection parameters needed in mobile App.

In the current version of mobile app, all jobs are collected by job groups. Searching by job group or by the already existing search of jobID is unrealistic when you are dealing with jobs in the millions. Xilinx would like to see the addition of m...
