tool to list out active and default base params - lsparams

Think of 'bparams' and the level of details that it provides with args '-la'. This helps in figuring out what all params are configured as default or what defaults values are affecting the scheduling. Such a tool does not exist for LSF Base config...

Ensure that 'bresize' calls ESUB so that we can do policy enforcement, like limit the increase to no more than X tasks or to keep the job from going over Y tasks

Once we re-certify Session Scheduler, we know that the users will 'game the system'.

possibility to distribute event files over many directories or subdirectories

If there are thousands of event files under 1 directory the speed to access the files will be slow and much faster if distributed over many directories

Multiple queues request for job - consider taking in account queue limitations and lsf.resources for better job dispatching.

Today, when we submit a job with multiple queues (bsub "high risk") The job will be dispatched to a relevant queue by examine parameters such as queue status(open/closed), queue hosts, time-limit. In a situation, where a queue "high" have a ujob_l...

bsub should accept a cpu_efficiency parameter to allow cpu over-commiting in the pool

It's rare for a job to achieve close to 100% cpu efficiency. Often, jobs have a peak cpu requirement during its execution lifetime but use less cpus in average. If bsub could be told that a job is expected to run with a given cpu efficiency, LSF c...

Adjust login messages in LSF Explorer for better troubleshooting

We are facing a strange behaviour with the messages for a failed login at LSF Explorer Server. There are three scenarios: The user is not able to the system on the server where LSF Explorer is installed - hence the user is not able to login to LSF...

Be able to send stdout/stderr to both file and email

See ticket TS015786331; currently cannot have stderr & stdout go to both a file and email. We would like the option to do both.

Change job submit time to include milliseconds for precision.

Job submit time to include milliseconds for precision. Instead of HH:MM:SS, make it like 12:29:05.1234. This will enable this column to be used as a unique identifier when generating data in an incremental fashion. We are extracting the RTM data a...

Spectrum LSF's k8s support

Spectrum LSF used to provide an adapter for k8s as a container orchestration to use with LSF's job scheduling as its add-on function, which is withdrawn now. The customer would like to restore it so they could improve portability/availability and ...

Ability to limit user's views in RTM to select clusters

Reduces support because users can't flip to other clusters via Cluster drop-down menu to then ask questions about resources and usage or see other information that should only be for users of a particular cluster or why can't they find their infor...
