This section provides useful links to third-party,
open source, and other related software products. 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 website 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
website. 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. lsf_diff(7) 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
