Specify different levels of host preference
Submit a job with varying levels of host preferences.
About this task
You can indicate different levels of preference by specifying a number after the plus sign
(+
). The larger the number, the higher the preference for that host or host group.
You can also specify the +
with the keyword others
.
Procedure
Submit a job indicating a host preference.
For example,
bsub -m "groupA+2 groupB+1 groupC" myjob
In this example, LSF gives first preference to hosts in groupA, second preference to hosts in groupB, and last preference to those in groupC. Ordering within a group is still determined by load.
