Performance Tuning for Interactive Batch Jobs is in use, and resume after the host has been idle for a longer period. For hosts where all batch jobs, no matter how important, should be suspended, set a perhost suspending threshold in the lsb.hosts file. CPU run queue length (r15s, r1m, r15m) CPU utilization (ut) Running more than one CPU-bound process on a machine (or more than one process per CPU for multiprocessors) can reduce the total throughput because of operating system overhead, as well as interfering with interactive users. Some tasks such as compiling can create more than one CPU-intensive task. Queues should normally set CPU run queue scheduling thresholds below 1.0, so that hosts already running compute-bound jobs are left alone. LSF scales the run queue thresholds for multiprocessor hosts by using the effective run queue lengths, so multiprocessors automatically run one job per processor in this case. For concept of effective run queue lengths, see lsfintro(1). For short to medium-length jobs, the r1m index should be used. For longer jobs, you might want to add an r15m threshold. An exception to this are high priority queues, where turnaround time is more important than total throughput. For high priority queues, an r1m scheduling threshold of 2.0 is appropriate. The ut parameter measures the amount of CPU time being used. When all the CPU time on a host is in use, there is little to gain from sending another job to that host unless the host is much more powerful than others on the network. A ut threshold of 90% prevents jobs from going to a host where the CPU does not have spare processing cycles. If a host has very high pg but low ut, then it may be desirable to suspend some jobs to reduce the contention. Some commands report ut percentage as a number from 0-100, some report it as a decimal number between 0-1. The configuration parameter in the lsf.cluster.cluster_name file and the configuration files take a fraction in the range from 0 to 1, while the bsub -R resource requirement string takes an integer from 1-100. The command bhist shows the execution history of batch jobs, including the time spent waiting in queues or suspended because of system load. The command bjobs -p shows why a job is pending. Scheduling conditions and resource thresholds Three parameters, RES_REQ, STOP_COND and RESUME_COND, can be specified in the definition of a queue. Scheduling conditions are a more general way for specifying job dispatching conditions at the queue level. These parameters take resource requirement strings as values which allows you to specify conditions in a more flexible manner than using the loadSched or loadStop thresholds. 406 Administering Platform LSF
Interactive Batch Job Messaging Limitations Windows Chapter 32 Interactive Jobs with bsub LSF can display messages to stderr or the Windows console when the following changes occur with interactive batch jobs: ◆ Job state ◆ Pending reason ◆ Suspend reason Other job status changes, like switching the job’s queue, are not displayed. Interactive batch job messaging is not supported in a MultiCluster environment. Interactive batch job messaging is not fully supported on Windows. Only changes in the job state that occur before the job starts running are displayed. No messages are displayed after the job starts. Configuring interactive batch job messaging Cluster level User level Example messages Job in pending state Messaging for interactive batch jobs can be specified cluster-wide or in the user environment. To enable interactive batch job messaging for all users in the cluster, the LSF administrator configures the following parameters in lsf.conf: ◆ LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH=Y ◆ (Optional) LSB_INTERACT_MSG_INTVAL LSB_INTERACT_MSG_INTVAL specifies the time interval, in seconds, in which LSF updates messages about any changes to the pending status of the job. The default interval is 60 seconds. LSB_INTERACT_MSG_INTVAL is ignored if LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH is not set. To enable messaging for interactive batch jobs, LSF users can define LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH and LSB_INTERACT_MSG_INTVAL as environment variables. The user-level definition of LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH overrides the definition in lsf.conf. The following example shows messages displayed when a job is in pending state: % bsub -Is -R "ls < 2" csh Job is submitted to default queue . > Administering Platform LSF 407
