Enable host-based resources
Learn how Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) is integrated into LSF to
detect hardware information. Enable LSF so
applications can use NVIDIA Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) and Intel Xeon Phi (MIC) co-processors
in a Linux environment.
Portable hardware locality hwloc ) is an open source software package that is distributed under BSD license. It provides a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, and so on) of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including NUMA memory nodes, socket, shared caches, cores, and simultaneous multithreading (SMT). hwloc is integrated into LSF to detect hardware information, and can support most of the platforms that LSF supports. Define GPU resources (Obsolete) LSF so applications can use NVIDIA Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) resources in a Linux environment. LSF supports parallel jobs that request GPUs to specify some GPUs on each node at run time, based on availability.Define Intel Xeon Phi resources LSF so applications can use Intel Xeon Phi co-processors (previously referred to as Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture, or MIC, co-processors) in a Linux environment. LSF supports parallel jobs that request Xeon Phi resources, so you can specify some co-processors on each node at run time, based on availability.
