LSF_JOB_DAEMON_NICE

Adjusts the UNIX nice value for the RES job and for the parallel job's NIOS process.

Syntax

LSF_JOB_DAEMON_NICE=integer

Description

CPU-intensive jobs on execution hosts that include job processes that can occupy a lot of CPU time, which can affect the response time for LSF daemons (LIM, PIM, RES, sbatchd, or mbatchd). Additionally, RES jobs can be preempted by high CPU usage jobs.

Use this parameter to configure the nice value (typically a low value) of the RES job and the parallel job's NIOS process on UNIX to help with daemon communication. After changing this parameter, restart the sbatchd and RES processes for this change to take effect.

Valid values

Specify an integer between -20 (the highest priority) and 19 (the lowest priority).

Default

The default priority of the RES job and the parallel job's NIOS process is 0.
