ESTIMATOR_MAX_JOBS_PREDICTION

Description

Specifies the maximum number of jobs that the job start time estimator can predict. mbatchd stops the current round of estimation when the number of pending jobs dispatched to the estimator reaches this number, or if there are no more pending jobs to estimate. Use this parameter to limit the number of pending jobs for which LSF will provide start time estimates using simulation-based estimation.

LSF stops the current round of estimation when the estimator reaches any one of the estimation thresholds (ESTIMATOR_MAX_JOBS_PREDICTION, ESTIMATOR_MAX_RUNTIME_PREDICTION, and ESTIMATOR_MAX_TIME_PREDICTION).

You must also define LSB_ENABLE_ESTIMATION=Y in lsf.conf to enable job start time estimation and to use this parameter.

Valid values

Any integer greater than zero.

Default

1000 jobs.
