Table 7-2: LSF Equivalents of SLURM srun Options (cont.)

srun Option	Description	LSF Equivalent
-w, --nodelist=node1,	Request a specific list of nodes.	-ext “SLURM[nodelist=node1,..nodeN]”
..nodeN	The job will at least contain these
	nodes. The list may be specified as a
	comma-separated list of nodes, or a
	range of nodes. By default, job does
	not require.
-x, --exclude=node1,	Requests that a specific list of hosts	-ext “SLURM[exclude=node1,..nodeN]”
..nodeN	not be included in resource allocated
	to this job. By default, job does not
	require.
-p, --partition=partition	Request resources from partition	End user cannot use this option, only one
	“partition” .	lsf partition
--contiguous	Request a contiguous range of nodes.	-ext “SLURM[contiguous=yes]”
	By default, job does not require
	contiguous nodes.
-o, –output=filename	Specify the mode for stdout	bsub –o <output file>
	redirection.

-o, -output=none,tasked	Specify the mode for stdout
	redirection.
-i, --input=filename	Specify how stdin is to be
	redirected.
-i, --input=none, tasked	Specify how stdin is to be
	redirected.
-e, --error=filename	Specify how stderr is to be
	redirected.
-e, --error=none, tasked	Specify how stderr is to be
	redirected.
-J, --job-name=jobname	Specify a name for the job.
--uid=user	Root attempts to submit or run a job
-t –time=minutes	as normal user.
	Establish a time limit to terminate

	minutes.
--gid=group	Root attempts to submit or run a job
	as group.
-A, --allocate	Allocate resource and spawn a shell.
--no-shell	Immediately exit after allocating
	resources.
-I , --immediate	Allocate immediately or fail.
-s , --share	Share nodes with other running jobs.
	SHARED=FORCE, share all nodes
	in partition.
	SHARED=YES, share nodes if and
	only if –share is specified.
	SHARED=NO, do not share node.
-O , --overcommit	Overcommit resources.
-b, --batch	Submit in “batch mode”.
