IBM Platform LSF 9.1.2 Fix 386124 Readme File

Abstract

P101579. Fix to allow you to configure the smoothing factor in the page rate report.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.2 Fix 386124 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

Setting the smoothing factor in the page rate report to a fixed value is inconvenient. This fix introduces the following parameter to control the smoothing factor in the page rate report:
EGO_LIM_PG_SMOOTH_FACTOR
Syntax
EGO_LIM_PG_SMOOTH_FACTOR = smoothing_factor | 0

Description
Specifies the smoothing factor when lim reports the host page rate. The smoothing factor controls how fast reported values converge to an instantaneous value.

smoothing_factor must be an integer between 0 and 10.

If set to 0, no smoothing is applied and the reported value is equal to the instantaneous value.
For other integers, the larger the value, the more time LSF needs to react to page rate change in the host.

This parameter is only supported in Linux platforms.
