JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST
Syntax
JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST=pack | balance | any
Description
- pack
LSF attempts to pack tasks as tightly as possible across jobs. Topology nodes with fewer available resources will be favored for task allocations.
JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST is not the same as the distribute clause on the command-line affinity resource requirement. JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST decides how to distribute tasks between jobs, rather than within a job.
Use pack to allow your application to use memory locality.
- balance
LSF attempts to distribute tasks equally across hosts' topology, while considering the allocations of all jobs. Topology nodes with more available resources will be favored for task allocations.
- any
LSF attempts no job task placement optimization. LSF chooses the first available processor units for task placement.
When JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST is not defined, any is the default value.
Default
Not defined. JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST=any is used.
