Server

 

load file

A file containing the names of multiple executables that are to be launched simultaneously by a

 

single command.
Load SharingSee LSF-HPC with SLURM.
Facility

 

local storageStorage that is available or accessible from one node in the HP XC system.
LSF execution host

The node on which LSF runs. A user's job is submitted to the LSF execution host. Jobs are launched

 

from the LSF execution host and are executed on one or more compute nodes.
LSF master host

The overall LSF coordinator for the system. The master load information manager (LIM) and master

 

batch daemon (mbatchd) run on the LSF master host. Each system has one master host to do all

 

job scheduling and dispatch. If the master host goes down, another LSF server in the system

 

becomes the master host.
LSF-HPC with

Load Sharing Facility for High Performance Computing integrated with SLURM. The batch system

SLURM

resource manager on an HP XC system that is integrated with SLURM. LSF-HPC with SLURM places

 

a job in a queue and allows it to run when the necessary resources become available. SF-HPC

 

with SLURM manages just one resource: the total number of processors designated for batch

 

processing.

 

LSF-HPC with SLURM can also run interactive batch jobs and interactive jobs. An LSF interactive

 

batch job allows you to interact with the application while still taking advantage of SF-HPC with

 

SLURM scheduling policies and features. An SF-HPC with SLURM interactive job is run without

 

using SF-HPC with SLURM batch processing features but is dispatched immediately by SF-HPC

 

with SLURM on the LSF execution host.

 

See Also LSF execution host.
LVS

Linux Virtual Server. Provides a centralized login capability for system users. LVS handles incoming

 

login requests and directs them to a node with a login role.

M

 

ManagementSee MP.
Processor

 

master hostSee LSF master host.
module

A package that provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment by means of

 

modulefiles.

 

See Also modulefile.

modulefile

Contains information that alters or sets shell environment variables, such as PATH and MANPATH.

 

Modulefiles enable various functions to start and operate properly.

MP

Management Processor. Controls the system console, reset, and power management functions

 

on HP Integrity servers.
MPI

Message Passing Interface. A library specification for message passing, proposed as a standard

 

by a broadly based committee of vendors, implementors, and users.
MySQL

A relational database system developed by MySQL AB that is used in HP XC systems to store

 

and track system configuration information.

N

 

NAT

Network Address Translation. A mechanism that provides a mapping (or transformation) of

 

addresses from one network to another. This enables external access of a machine on one LAN

 

that has the same IP address as a machine on another LAN, by mapping the LAN address of the

 

two machines to different external IP addresses.
Network AddressSee NAT.
