| LSF highlights LSF delivers substantial improvement in overall system performance by dynamically distributing batch, interactive, and parallel jobs across the network. As a result, LSF helps you get maximum value from your workstations, servers, and software licenses.
Primary features
- Interactive load sharing
- monitors the load on every machine in a cluster and provides dynamic access to remote hardware and software resources.
- Batch scheduling
- smoothly balances the load over time, providing site-configurable control of resource sharing.
- Parallel computing
- supports PVM, MPI, and HPF
- Fault tolerance
- system is available as long as one host is up; no job lost even if all hosts are down
- job checkpointing and migration
Primary benefitsEncompassing distributed load sharing and dynamic job scheduling for heterogeneous UNIX and Windows NT computing environments, Platform's LSF Suite delivers:
- faster product development
- higher quality of service
- shorter time-to-market
- improved products
- greater customer satisfaction
- increased profits
LSF Batch
- seamless, highly configurable batch job scheduling for distributed and heterogeneous environments
LSF JobScheduler
- integrates heterogeneous servers into a highly robust "virtual mainframe". It supports calendar-based and event-based job scheduling
LSF MultiCluster
- extends the Workload Management benefits and functionality of the LSF Suite across WANs and remote clusters
LSF Analyzer
- provides comprehensive workload analysis across a cluster of computing resources, enabling system administrators and managers to make informed capacity-planning decisions, remove bottlenecks, and tune overall system performance
LSF Make
- a distributed, parallel Make program that simultaneously dispatches tasks to multiple hosts, to expedite software builds, regression tests, and inter-dependent groups of simulation job runs
