LOAD_INDEX
Specifies scheduling and suspending thresholds for the specified dynamic load index.
Syntax
load_index=loadSched[/loadStop]
Specify io, it, ls, mem, pg, r15s, r1m, r15m, swp, tmp, ut, or a non-shared custom external load index. Specify multiple lines to configure thresholds for multiple load indices.
Specify io, it, ls, mem, pg, r15s, r1m, r15m, swp, tmp, ut, or a non-shared custom external load index as a column. Specify multiple columns to configure thresholds for multiple load indices.
Description
The loadSched condition must be satisfied before a job is dispatched to the host. If a RESUME_COND is not specified, the loadSched condition must also be satisfied before a suspended job can be resumed.
If the loadStop condition is satisfied, a job on the host is suspended.
The loadSched and loadStop thresholds permit the specification of conditions using simple AND/OR logic. Any load index that does not have a configured threshold has no effect on job scheduling.
LSF does not suspend a job if the job is the only batch job running on the host and the machine is interactively idle (it>0).
The r15s, r1m, and r15m CPU run queue length conditions are compared to the effective queue length as reported by lsload -E, which is normalized for multiprocessor hosts. Thresholds for these parameters should be set at appropriate levels for single processor hosts.
Example
MEM=100/10
SWAP=200/30
These two lines translate into a loadSched condition of
mem>=100 && swap>=200
and a loadStop condition of
mem < 10 || swap < 30
