LSF LIM needs better support for Intel Xeon-Phi based compute systems

LSF lim uses up far more computation time on a Xeon Phi self-booting system than it does on standard Xeon nodes. Here is an example. After 5 days (update time set to 60s) on the Xeon Phi ekl001 over 300 min have piled up, while the standard Xeon system ewb001 in the same cluster only used 26min.


[root@endeavour5 icsmoke3.1]# ssh ewb001 uptime
10:05:56 up 5 days, 22:18, 0 users, load average: 10.34, 9.99, 9.92
[root@endeavour5 icsmoke3.1]# ssh ewb001 ps aux | grep lim
root 110049 0.3 0.0 27432 3644 ? S[root@endeavour5 icsmoke3.1]# ssh ekl001 ps aux | grep lim
root 88989 4.5 0.0 27744 4100 ? S
