IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 524550 Readme File

Abstract 

RFE#125752. Enhance LSF GPU MPS integration to enable the shared use GPU through MPS for the same user with the same job requirement.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 524550 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

LSF now allows you to run multiple NVIDIA Multi-Process Service (MPS) daemons on a host for GPU jobs and allows you to share these MPS daemons across multiple GPU jobs.

To use this enhancement, LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=extend must be defined in the lsf.conf file to enable MPS daemons.

To define the behavior of running and sharing multiple MPS daemons, this fix adds new values to the existing mps keyword in the GPU resource requirements string (that is, the bsub -gpu command option, LSB_GPU_REQ parameter in the lsf.conf file, and the GPU_REQ parameter in the lsb.queues and lsb.applications files):

-gpu “mps=default,shared”

LSF starts MPS daemon per host for multiple jobs submitted by the same user with the same job submission requirements.

-gpu “mps=per_socket,shared”

LSF start MPS daemon per socket for multiple jobs submitted by the same user with the same job submission requirements.

-gpu “mps=per_gpu,shared”

LSF start MPS daemon per GPU for multiple jobs submitted by the same user with the same job submission requirements.

For optimal performance, use mode=exclusive_process together with MPS shared keyword.
