What Is the LSF Parallel System?
The LSF Parallel system is a fully supported commercial software system that supports the programming, testing, and execution of parallel applications in production environments. The LSF Parallel system is fully integrated with the LSF Batch system, the de-facto industry standard resource management software product, to provide load sharing in a distributed system and batch scheduling for compute intensive jobs. The LSF Parallel system provides support for: • Dynamic resource discovery and allocation (resource reservation) for parallel batch job execution • Transparent invocation of the distributed job processes across different platforms such AIX, HP, Linux, SGI, and Solaris • Full job-level control of the distributed processes to ensure no processes will become un-managed. This effectively reduces the possibility of one parallel job causing severe disruption to an organization’s computer service • The standard MPI interface • All major UNIX operating systems • Full integration with t
