Executing With LSF Suite 3.2.3

Running parallel jobs with LSF Suite is supported on up to 1024 processors and up to 64 nodes.

Parallel jobs can either be launched by LSF's Parallel Application Manager (PAM) or be submitted in queues configured to run PAM as the parallel job starter. LSF's bsub command launches both parallel interactive and batch jobs. For example, to start a batch job named mpijob on four CPUs, use this command:

% bsub -n 4 pam mpijob

To launch an interactive job, add the -I argument to the command line. For example, to launch an interactive job named earth on a single CPU in the queue named sun, which is configured to launch jobs with PAM):

% bsub -q sun -Ip -n 1 earth
