    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 ...

    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...

    Support combination of MIG and DCGM in GPUs with LSF

    I got confirmation from dev team. Unfortunately, the combination of MIG and DCGM is not supported yet. So, for now, you cannot get job GPU information if MIG is enabled. You can raise an RFE on this matter so we can keep track of the request.

    We can see remote cluster jobs with "bjobs -m <clustername> ..." from another cluster that is a member of MC, no matter the jobs are forwarded to remote cluster or submitted directly in the remote cluster, but we cannot kill the jobs if they...

    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.
