 | 
| load file | A file containing the names of multiple executables that are to be launched simultaneously by a | 
| 
 | single command. |

| Facility | 
 | 
| local storage | Storage 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. | 
| 
 | 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.  | 
| 
 | a job in a queue and allows it to run when the necessary resources become available.  | 
| 
 | with SLURM manages just one resource: the total number of processors designated for batch | 
| 
 | processing. | 
| 
 | |
| 
 | batch job allows you to interact with the application while still taking advantage of  | 
| 
 | SLURM scheduling policies and features. An  | 
| 
 | using  | 
| 
 | 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. |

| master host | See 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 Address | See NAT. |
