Plan-based scheduling and reservations
Plan-based scheduling greatly improves the original scheduling and reservation features in LSF . Instead of looking only at current resource availability, the scheduler can plan job placements for the near future. Reservations are then based on these planned allocation. Plan-based scheduling is meant to be a replacement for legacy LSF reservation policies. When ALLOCATION_PLANNER is enabled, parameters related to the old reservation features are ignored.
