Adding Resources
Configuring lsf.cluster.cluster_name ResourceMap
Section
Example
RESOURCENAME
LOCATION
Resources are associated with the hosts for which they are defined in the
ResourceMap section of lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
For each resource, you must specify the name and the hosts that have it.
If the ResourceMap section is not defined, then any dynamic resources
specified in lsf.shared are not tied to specific hosts, but are shared across
all hosts in the cluster.
A cluster consists of hosts host1, host2, and host3.
Begin ResourceMap
RESOURCENAME LOCATION
verilog (5@[all ~host1 ~host2])
synopsys (2@[host1 host2] 2@[others])
console (1@[host1] 1@[host2]1@[host3])
xyz
(1@[default])
End ResourceMap
In this example:
◆ 5 units of the verilog resource are defined on host3 only (all hosts
except host1 and host2).
◆ 2 units of the synopsys resource are shared between host1 and host2. 2
more units of the synopsys resource are defined on host3 (shared among
all the remaining hosts in the cluster).
◆ 1 unit of the console resource is defined on each host in the cluster
(assigned explicitly). 1 unit of the xyz resource is defined on each host in
the cluster (assigned with the keyword default).
The name of the resource, as defined in lsf.shared.
Defines the hosts that share the resource. For a static resource, you must define
an initial value here as well. Do not define a value for a dynamic resource.
Possible states of a resource:
◆ Each host in the cluster has the resource
◆ The resource is shared by all hosts in the cluster
◆ There are multiple instances of a resource within the cluster, and each
instance is shared by a unique subset of hosts.
