IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Support resizable jobs for compound resource requests (RES_REQ) using blaunch (parallel jobs)

A job that has compound resources cannot be resized - why?
===============================================

We use blaunch to launch jobs with the following resource requirements.

Begin Application
NAME = core8
DESCRIPTION = applications that need 1 HOST + N-1 LEAF slots and each LEAF slot has 8 threads bound to a CPU socket
TASKLIMIT = 100
ENV_VARS="LSB_DJOB_TASK_BIND='Y'"
RESIZABLE_JOBS = Auto
RES_REQ = 1*{type=HOST && centos64}+{type=LEAF && centos64 affinity[core(8,same=socket):cpubind=socket]}
End Application

LSF will not accept this profile - it is documented as not supported.
