LSB_UNIT_FOR_JOBS_DISPLAY

Specifies a unit prefix for supported display fields in the bjobs and bhosts output.

Syntax

LSB_UNIT_FOR_JOBS_DISPLAY=unit_prefix

Description

This parameter specifies a UNIX prefix for the following fields in the bjobs -o and bhosts -o command output: mem, max_mem, avg_mem, memlimit, swap, swaplimit, corelimit, stacklimit, and hrusage (for hrusage, the unit prefix is for mem and swap resources only).

The display value keeps two decimals but rounds up the third decimal. For example, if the unit prefix is set to G, 10M displays as 0.01G.

The value of the bjobs -o unit or bhosts -o unit keyword setting overrides the value of the LSB_UNIT_FOR_JOBS_DISPLAY environment variable, which also overrides the value of this parameter.

Valid values

The unit_prefix value indicates the unit prefix for the resource, one of:
  • KB or K (kilobytes)
  • MB or M (megabytes)
  • GB or G (gigabytes)
  • TB or T (terabytes)
  • PB or P (petabytes)
  • EB or E (exabytes)
  • ZB or Z (zettabytes)
  • S (automatically adjust the value to a suitable unit prefix and remove the bytes suffix from the unit)

Default

Not defined: Automatically adjust the value to a suitable unit prefix, but keep the bytes suffix in the unit.
