-x, --exclude=node1,	Requests that a specific list of hosts	-ext “SLURM[exclude=node1,..nodeN]”

	require.
-p, --partition=partition	Request resources from partition	End user cannot use this option, only one
	“partition” .	lsf partition

-o, –output=filename	Specify the mode for stdout	bsub –o <output file>
	redirection.

-o, -output=none,tasked	Specify the mode for stdout

-I , --immediate	Allocate immediately or fail.
-s , --share	Share nodes with other running jobs.
