Job Arrays
Job Array Dependencies
Whole array dependency
Partial array dependency
Like all jobs in LSF, a job array can be dependent on the completion or partial
completion of a job or another job array. A number of job-array-specific
dependency conditions are provided by LSF.
To make a job array dependent on the completion of a job or another job array
use the -w "dependency_condition" option of bsub. For example, to have
an array dependent on the completion of a job or job array with job ID 123,
you would use the following command:
% bsub -w "done(123)" -J "myArray2[1-1000]" myJob
To make a job or job array dependent on an existing job array you would use
one of the following dependency conditions.
Condition
numrun(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numpend(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numdone(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numexit(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numended(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numhold(jobArrayJobId, op num)
numstart(jobArrayJobId, op num)
Description
Evaluate the number of jobs in RUN state
Evaluate the number of jobs in PEND state
Evaluate the number of jobs in DONE state
Evaluate the number of jobs in EXIT state
Evaluate the number of jobs in DONE and
EXIT state
Evaluate the number of jobs in PSUSP state
Evaluate the number of jobs in RUN and SSUSP
and USUSP state
Use one the following operators (op) combined with a positive integer (num)
to build a condition:
== | > | < | >= |
