LSF-SLURM External Scheduler

The external scheduler option is an important option that can be included when submitting parallel jobs with LSF-HPC integrated with SLURM. This option

For example, you can submit a job to run one task per node when you have a resource-intensive job that needs to have sole access to the node's full resources. If your job needs particular resources found only on a specific set of nodes, you can use this option to submit a job to those nodes.

The LSF host options enable you to identify an HP XC system "host" within a larger LSF cluster. After the HP XC system is selected, LSF-HPC's external SLURM scheduler provides the additional flexibility to request specific resources within the HP XC system

You can use the LSF-HPC external scheduler functionality within the bsub command and in LSF-HPC queue configurations. See the LSF bqueues(1) command for more information on determining how the available queues are configured on HP XC systems.

See “Submitting a Parallel Job Using the SLURM External Scheduler” for information and examples on submitting jobs with the LSF-SLURM External Scheduler.
