Description

A job that is in an eligible pending state is a job that LSF would normally select for resource allocation, but is currently pending because its priority is lower than other jobs. It is a job that is eligible for scheduling and will be run if there are sufficient resources to run it.

An ineligible pending job remains pending even if there are enough resources to run it and is therefore ineligible for scheduling. Reasons for a job to remain pending, and therefore be in an ineligible pending state, include the following:

  • The job has a start time constraint (specified with the -b option)
  • The job is suspended while pending (in a PSUSP state).
  • The queue of the job is made inactive by the administrator or by its time window.
  • The job's dependency conditions are not satisfied.
  • The job cannot fit into the run time window (RUN_WINDOW)
  • Delayed scheduling is enabled for the job (NEW_JOB_SCHED_DELAY is greater than zero)
  • The job's queue or application profile does not exist.

A job that is not under any of the ineligible pending state conditions is treated as an eligible pending job. In addition, for chunk jobs in WAIT status, the time spent in the WAIT status is counted as eligible pending time.

This option is valid only when TRACK_ELIGIBLE_PENDINFO in lsb.params is set to Y or y (enabled).
