Command Reference Guide

Exit Status
284 Platform LSF Command Reference
Options for LSF HPC generic PJL jobs
-t This option tells pam not to print out the MPI job tasks summary report to the
standard output. By default, the summary report prints out the task ID, the host on
which it was executed, the command that was executed, the exit status, and the
termination time.
-v Verbose mode. Displays the name of the execution host or hosts.
-g [num_args] pjl_wrapper [pjl_options]
The -g option is required to use the LSF generic PJL framework. You must specify
all the other
pam options before -g.
num_args
Specifies how many space-separated arguments in the command line are related to
the PJL (after that, the remaining section of the command line is assumed to be
related to the binary application that launches the parallel tasks).
pjl_wrapper
The name of the PJL
pjl_options
Optional arguments to the PJL
For example:
◆ A PJL named no_arg_pjl takes no options, so num_args=1. The syntax is:
pam [pam_options] -g 1 no_arg_pjl job [job_options]
◆ A PJL is named 3_arg_pjl and takes the options -a, -b, and group_name, so
num_args=4. The syntax is:
pam [pam_options] -g 4 3_arg_pjl -a -b group_name job [job_options]
-n num_tasks The number of processors required to run the MPI application, typically the
number of parallel tasks in the job. If the host is a multiprocessor, one host can start
several tasks.
You can us e both
bsub -n and pam -n in the same job submission. The number
specified in the
pam -n option should be less than or equal to the number specified
by bsub -n. If the number of tasks specified with pam -n is greater than the number
specified by bsub -n, the pam -n is ignored.
mpi_app [argument ...]
The name of the MPI application to be run on the listed hosts. This must be the last
argument on the command line.
-h Prints command usage to stderr and exit.
-V Prints LSF release version to stderr and exit.
Exit Status
pam exits with the exit status of mpirun or the PJL wrapper.
