LSF-HPC Equivalent

Description

srun

Option

bsub -n num

Number of processes (tasks) to run.

-n

--ntasks=ntasks

HP XC does not provide this option because
the meaning of this option can be covered by
bsub -n

and mincpus=n.

Specifies the number of cores per task.
Min processors per node =
MAX(ncpus, mincpus)

-c

--processors-per-task=ntasks

-ext "SLURM[nodes=minmax]"

where minmax is min[-max]

Specifies the minimum and, optionally,
maximum number of nodes allocated
to job. The job allocation will contain
at least the minimum number of nodes.

-N

--nodes=min[-max]

-ext "SLURM[mincpus=n]"

Specifies the minimum number of
cores per node. Min processors per
node = MAX(-c ncpus, --mincpus=n).
Default value is 1.

--mincpus=n

-ext "SLURM[mem=MB]"

Specifies a minimum amount of real
memory of each node. By default, job
does not require -ext.

--mem=MB

-ext "SLURM[tmp=MB]"

Specifies a minimum amount of
temporary disk space of each node. By
default, job does not require -ext.

--tmp=MB

-ext "SLURM[constraint=list]"

Specifies a list of constraints. The list
may include multiple features
separated by the & character (meaning
ANDed) or the | (meaning ORed). By
default, job does not require -ext.

-C

--constraint=list

-ext
"SLURM[nodelist=node1,...nodeN]"

Requests a specific list of nodes. The
job will at least contain these nodes.
The list may be specified as a
comma-separated list of nodes, or a
range of nodes. By default, job does
not require -ext.

-w

--nodelist=node1,...nodeN

-ext
"SLURM[exclude=node1,...nodeN]"

Requests that a specific list of hosts be
excluded in the resource allocated to
this job. By default, job does not
require.

-x

--exclude=node1,...nodeN

You cannot use this option. The lsf partition
is the only one provided.

Requests resources from partition
partition

.

-p

--partition=partition

-ext "SLURM[contiguous=yes]"

Requests a contiguous range of nodes.
By default, job does not require
contiguous nodes.

--contiguous

bsub -o output_file

Specifies the mode for stdout
redirection.

-o

--output=file_name

You can use this option when launching
parallel tasks.

Specify the mode for stdout
redirection.

-o

--output=none,tasked

bsub -i input_file

Specify how stdin is to be redirected.

-i

--input=file_name
