LSF_BIND_JOB

Syntax

LSF_BIND_JOB=NONE | BALANCE | PACK | ANY | USER | USER_CPU_LIST

Description

Specifies the processor binding policy for sequential and parallel job processes that run on a single host.

On Linux execution hosts that support this feature, job processes are hard bound to selected processors.

If processor binding feature is not configured with the BIND_JOB parameter in an application profile in lsb.applications, the lsf.conf configuration setting takes effect. The application profile configuration for processor binding overrides the lsf.conf configuration.

For backwards compatibility:
  • LSF_BIND_JOB=Y is interpreted as LSF_BIND_JOB=BALANCE

  • LSF_BIND_JOB=N is interpreted as LSF_BIND_JOB=NONE

Supported platforms

Linux with kernel version 2.6 or higher

Default

Not defined. Processor binding is disabled.
