Managing LSF user groups

Job groups
A collection of jobs can be organized into job groups for easy management. A job group is a container for jobs in much the same way that a directory in a file system is a container for files. For example, a payroll application may have one group of jobs that calculates weekly payments, another job group for calculating monthly salaries, and a third job group that handles the salaries of part-time or contract employees. Users can submit, view, and control jobs according to their groups rather than looking at individual jobs.
Host groups
Host groups gather similar resources to the same group of hosts (for example, all hosts with big memory)- Use host groups to manage dedicated resources for a single organization or to share resources across organizations. You can add limits to host groups, or define host groups in queues to constrain jobs for a scheduling policy that is defined over a specific set of hosts.
