Home page for Platform Computing Corporation, the developer of the Load Sharing Facility (LSF). LSF-HPC with SLURM, the batch system resource manager used on an HP XC system, is tightly integrated with the HP XC and SLURM software. Documentation specific to LSF-HPC with SLURM is provided in the HP XC documentation set.

Standard LSF is also available as an alternative resource management system (instead of LSF-HPC with SLURM) for HP XC. This is the version of LSF that is widely discussed on the Platform Web site.

For your convenience, the following Platform Computing Corporation LSF documents are shipped on the HP XC documentation CD in PDF format:

LSF procedures and information supplied in the HP XC documentation, particularly the documentation relating to the LSF-HPC integration with SLURM, supersedes the information supplied in the LSF manuals from Platform Computing Corporation.

The Platform Computing Corporation LSF manpages are installed by default. The lsf_diff(7) manpage supplied by HP describes LSF command differences when using LSF-HPC with SLURM on an HP XC system
