bsub Overview

The command for submitting Sun MPI jobs to the LSF Batch system is bsub, just as it is for submitting nonparallel batch jobs. The command syntax is essentially the same as well, except for an additional option, -sunhpc, which applies specifically to Sun MPI jobs. The bsub syntax for parallel jobs is

bsub [basic_options] [-sunhpc sunhpc_args] job

The basic_options entry refers to the set of standard bsub options that are described in the LSF Batch User's Guide. The -sunhpc option allows Sun HPC-specific arguments to be passed to the MPI job job.

"Submitting Jobs in Batch Mode" and "Submitting Interactive Batch Jobs" describe how to use bsub to submit jobs in batch and interactive batch modes, respectively. The -sunhpc option is discussed in "Using the -sunhpc Option".

Refer to the LSF Batch User's Guide for a full discussion of bsub and associated job-submission topics.
