This blog is a follow-up Topology Scheduling on Platform LSF

Scenario 1: Submit directly to a specific Compute Unit Type

$ bsub -m "r1" -n 64 ./a.out

This job asks for 64 slots, all of which must be on hosts in the CU r1.

Scenario 2: Requesting for a Compute Unit Type Level (For example rack)

$ bsub -R "cu[type=rack]" -n 64 ./a.out

Scenario 3: Sequential Job Packing
The following job sets a CU uses minavail to set preferences for the fewest free slots.

$ bsub -R "cu[pref=minavail]" ./a.out

Scenario 4: Parallel Job Packing
The following job sets a CU uses maxavail to set a preference for the largest free slots

$ bsub -R "cu[pref=maxavail]" -n 64 ./a.out

Scenario 5: Limiting the number of spaning of multiple CUs
The following allow a job to span 2 CUs of CU-Type belonging to “rack” with the largest free slots

$ bsub -R "cu[type=rack:pref=maxavail:maxcus=2]" -n 32 ./a.out
