IBM Spectrum LSF integration

IBM Spectrum LSF (LSF) is a powerful workload management platform for demanding, distributed HPC environments. It provides a comprehensive set of intelligent, policy-driven scheduling features that enables full utilization of your compute infrastructure resources and ensure optimal application performance.

You can use IBM Spectrum Conductor with LSF to deploy an IBM Spectrum Conductor cluster and workloads as LSF jobs within an LSF cluster.

Note that with this integration, LSF 10.1.0.6 or later is the base scheduler, and you add on IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.5.0. Whereas, for a multiple IBM Spectrum Computing family product environment or cluster using LSF, you start with IBM Spectrum Conductor or IBM Spectrum Symphony as the base scheduler, and then add on IBM Spectrum LSF Standard Edition for Symphony® 10.1.0.2 (in this case, refer to Installing or upgrading IBM Spectrum Conductor with other IBM products).
