136 Platform LSF Command Reference
This queue only accepts batch interactive jobs. Jobs must be submitted using the -I,
-Is, and -Ip options of bsub(1). The default is to accept both interactive and
non-interactive jobs.
FAIRSHARE_QUEUES
Lists queues participating in cross-queue fairshare. The first queue listed is the
master queue—the queue in which fairshare is configured; all other queues listed
inherit the fairshare policy from the master queue. Fairshare information applies to
all the jobs running in all the queues in the master-slave set.
QUEUE_GROUP
Lists queues participating in an absolute priority scheduling (APS) queue group.
If both FAIRSHARE and APS_PRIORITY are enabled in the same queue, the
FAIRSHARE_QUEUES are not displayed. These queues are instead displayed as
QUEUE_GROUP.
DISPATCH_ORDER DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE is set in the master queue. Jobs from this queue are
dispatched according to the order of queue priorities first, then user fairshare
priority. Within the queue, dispatch order is based on user share quota. This avoids
having users with higher fairshare priority getting jobs dispatched from
low-priority queues.
USER_SHARES A list of [user_name, share] pairs. user_name is either a user name or a user group
name. share is the number of shares of resources assigned to the user or user group.
A party receives a portion of the resources proportional to that party’s share divided
by the sum of the shares of all parties specified in this queue.
DEFAULT HOST SPECIFICATION
The default host or host model that is used to normalize the CPU time limit of all
jobs.
If you want to view a list of the CPU factors defined for the hosts in your cluster, see
lsinfo(1). The CPU factors are configured in lsf.shared(5).
The appropriate CPU scaling factor of the host or host model is used to adjust the
actual CPU time limit at the execution host (see CPULIMIT in
lsb.queues(5)).
The DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC parameter in
lsb.queues overrides the system
DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC parameter in
lsb.params (see lsb.params(5)). If a user
explicitly gives a host specification when submitting a job using
bsub -c cpu_limit[/host_name |/host_model], the user specification overrides the
values defined in both
lsb.params and lsb.queues.
RUN_WINDOWS The time windows in a week during which jobs in the queue may run.
When a queue is out of its window or windows, no job in this queue is dispatched.
In addition, when the end of a run window is reached, any running jobs from this
queue are suspended until the beginning of the next run window, when they are
resumed. The default is no restriction, or always open.
