IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 509168 Readme File

Abstract

P102793: This patch ensures that LSF correctly calculates the CPU time for a job. 

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 509168 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

LSF calculates the CPU time for a sequential single-core bound job higher than the running time. 

To resolve this issue, LSF PIM can skip the process information of special processes (that is, processes with pid=-1). 

To enable this behavior, define the following parameter in lsf.conf : 

LSF_PIM_IGNORE_SPECIAL_PROCESS = Y

When enabled, the LSF PIM will skip the process information of special processes(that is, processes with pid=-1). 

However, enabling this behavior means that the PIM might lose the process information of the special processes. 

Default: N.
