Supplementary Software Products. This section provides links to third-party and open source software
products that are integrated into the HP XC System Software core technology. In the HP XC documentation,
except where necessary, references to third-party and open source software
components are generic, and the HP XC adjective is not added to any
reference to a third-party or open source command or product name. For example,
the SLURM srun command is simply referred to as the srun command. The location of each Web site or link to a particular topic listed in
this section is subject to change without notice by the site provider. http://www.platform.com 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: Administering Platform LSF Running Jobs with Platform LSF
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 The following documents in the HP XC System Software Documentation Set provide information about
administering and using LSF on an HP XC system: HP XC System Software Administration Guide HP XC System Software User's Guide

(SLURM), which is integrated with LSF to manage job and compute resources
on an HP XC system. http://www.nagios.org/ Home page for Nagios®,
