JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL

Syntax

JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL=integer

Description

The number you specify is multiplied by the value of lsb.params MBD_SLEEP_TIME (60 seconds by default). The result of the calculation is the number of seconds to wait after dispatching a job to a host, before dispatching a second job to the same host.

If 0 (zero), a host may accept more than one job. By default, there is no limit to the total number of jobs that can run on a host, so if this parameter is set to 0, a very large number of jobs might be dispatched to a host all at once. This can overload your system to the point that it will be unable to create any more processes. It is not recommended to set this parameter to 0.

JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL set at the queue level (lsb.queues) overrides JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL set at the cluster level (lsb.params).

Note:

The parameter JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL only applies when there are running jobs on a host. A host running a short job which finishes before JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL has elapsed is free to accept a new job without waiting.
