displays hosts available to execute tasks
Displays hosts available for the execution of tasks, and temporarily increases the load on these hosts (to avoid sending too many jobs to the same host in quick succession). The inflated load decays slowly over time before the real load produced by the dispatched task is reflected in the LIM’s load information. Host names may be duplicated for multiprocessor hosts, to indicate that multiple tasks can be placed on a single host.
Attempts to place tasks on as few hosts as possible. This is useful for distributed parallel applications to minimize communication costs between tasks.
Displays at least the specified number of hosts. Specify 0 to display as many hosts as possible.
Prints Not enough host(s) currently eligible and exits with status 1 if the required number of hosts holding the required resources cannot be found.
Displays only hosts with the specified resource requirements. When LSF_STRICT_RESREQ=Y in lsf.conf, LSF rejects resource requirement strings where an rusage section contains a non-consumable resource.
Displays no more than the specified number of hosts. Specify 0 to display as many hosts as possible.
lsrun -m ‘lsplace -R hppa‘ myprogram
In order for a job to land on a host with an exclusive resource, you need to explicitly specify that resource for the resource requirements. The following example issues a command to display the host with the bigmem exclusive resource for your program to run on:
