LSF


Set up

Quick Start Guide

Documentation


The RCF has installed LSF (version 5.1) on the Central Analysis Server (CAS) Farm for use in controlling analysis jobs. This distributed batch queuing system implements sophisticated job scheduling and policy-driven resource allocation control, to ensure optimal performance. It provides fault tolerance, job resubmission, checkpointing (depending on OS and user application), automatic migration and it can manage shared resources as well as local resources. It can also make use of specific hosts based on a time schedule or on the current load level. As an alternative to the first-come, first-served scheduling, the system can implement fairshare scheduling, guaranteeing the access to resources for users or groups of users. The system supports pre and post execution commands. For more information about LSF BATCH (part of the LSF Suite) check the Platform Computing web site.
