PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT

Syntax

PARALLEL_SCHED_BY_SLOT=y | Y

Description

If defined, LSF schedules jobs based on the number of slots assigned to the hosts instead of the number of CPUs. These slots can be defined by host in lsb.hosts or by slot limit in lsb.resources.

All slot-related messages still show the word “processors”, but actually refer to “slots” instead. Similarly, all scheduling activities also use slots instead of processors.

Default

N (Disabled.)
