Example 7-2: Using the External Scheduler to Submit a Job to Run on Specific Nodes

$ bsub -n4 -ext "SLURM[nodelist=n6,n8]" -I srun hostname Job <70> is submitted to default queue <normal>. <<Waiting for dispatch ...>>

<<Starting on lsfhost.localdomain>> n6

n6

n8

n8

In the previous example, the job output shows that the job was launched from the LSF execution host lsfhost.localdomain, and it ran on four nodes using the specified nodes n6 and n8 as two of the four nodes.

Consider an HP XC system configuration in which lsfhost.localdomain is the LSF execution host and nodes n[1-10]are compute nodes in the lsf partition. All nodes contain 2 processors, providing 20 processors for use by LSF jobs.

Example 7-3shows one way to submit a parallel job to run one task per node.

Example 7-3: Using the External Scheduler to Submit a Job to Run One Task per Node

$ bsub -n4 -ext "SLURM[nodes=4]" -I srun hostname Job <71> is submitted to default queue <normal>. <<Waiting for dispatch ...>>

<<Starting on lsfhost.localdomain>> n1

n4

In the previous example, the job output shows that the job was launched from the LSF execution host lsfhost.localdomain, and it ran on four processors on four different nodes (one task per node).

Consider an HP XC system configuration in which lsfhost.localdomain is the LSF execution host and nodes n[1-10]are compute nodes in the lsf partition. All nodes contain 2 processors, providing 20 processors for use by LSF jobs.

Example 7-4shows one way to submit a parallel job to avoid running on a particular node. Note that this command could have been written to exclude additional nodes.

Example 7-4: Using the External Scheduler to Submit a Job That Excludes One or More Nodes

$ bsub -n4-ext "SLURM[nodes=4; exclude=n3]" -I srun hostname Job <72> is submitted to default queue <normal>.

<<Waiting for dispatch ...>> <<Starting on lsfhost.localdomain>> n1
