An LSF cluster manages resources, accepts and schedules workload, and monitors all events. LSF can be accessed by users and administrators by a command-line interface, an API, or through the Platform Application Center.
Core: The core of LSF includes daemons and functionality that schedules and runs jobs, as well as managing resources.
License Scheduler: Platform LSF License Scheduler allows you to make policies that control the way software licenses are shared among different users in your organization. Platform LSF License Scheduler works with FlexNetâ„¢ products to control and monitor license usage.
Session Scheduler: While traditional Platform LSF job submission, scheduling, and dispatch methods such as job arrays or job chunking are well suited to a mix of long and short running jobs, or jobs with dependencies on each other, Session Scheduler is ideal for large volumes of independent jobs with short run times.
