How the System Works<br />

<strong>LSF</strong> can be configured in different ways that affect the scheduling of jobs. By<br />

default, this is how <strong>LSF</strong> handles a new job:<br />

1 Receive the job. Create a job file. Return the job ID to the user.<br />

2 Schedule the job and select the best available host.<br />

3 Dispatch the job to a selected host.<br />

4 Set the environment on the host.<br />

5 Start the job.<br />
