130 Platform LSF Command Reference
The queue is re-activated by LSF when one of its dispatch windows and one of its
run windows are open again. The initial state of a queue at LSF boot time is set to
open, and either active or inactive depending on its windows.
MAX The maximum number of job slots that can be used by the jobs from the queue.
These job slots are used by dispatched jobs which have not yet finished, and by
pending jobs which have slots reserved for them.
A sequential job uses one job slot when it is dispatched to a host, while a parallel job
uses as many job slots as is required by
bsub -n when it is dispatched. See bsub(1)
for details. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
JL/U The maximum number of job slots each user can use for jobs in the queue. These
job slots are used by your dispatched jobs which have not yet finished, and by
pending jobs which have slots reserved for them. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
JL/P The maximum number of job slots a processor can process from the queue. This
includes job slots of dispatched jobs that have not yet finished, and job slots
reserved for some pending jobs. The job slot limit per processor (JL/P) controls the
number of jobs sent to each host. This limit is configured per processor so that
multiprocessor hosts are automatically allowed to run more jobs. If ‘–’ is displayed,
there is no limit.
JL/H The maximum number of job slots a host can allocate from this queue. This
includes the job slots of dispatched jobs that have not yet finished, and those
reserved for some pending jobs. The job slot limit per host (JL/H) controls the
number of jobs sent to each host, regardless of whether a host is a uniprocessor host
or a multiprocessor host. If ‘–’ is displayed, there is no limit.
NJOBS The total number of job slots held currently by jobs in the queue. This includes
pending, running, suspended and reserved job slots. A parallel job that is running
on n processors is counted as n job slots, since it takes n job slots in the queue. See
bjobs(1) for an explanation of batch job states.
PEND The number of job slots used by pending jobs in the queue.
RUN The number of job slots used by running jobs in the queue.
SUSP The number of job slots used by suspended jobs in the queue.
