Table 7-2: LSF Equivalents of SLURM
srun
Options (cont.)
srun
Option
Description
LSF Equivalent
-r, --relative=n
Run a job step relative to node n of
the current allocation. It is about
placing tasks within allocation.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-D, --chdir=path
Specify working directory of job.
Job will be started in job submission directory
by default.
-k , –no-kill
Do not automatically terminate a
job if one of the nodes it has been
allocated fails.
When creating allocation, LSF does not use
the –k option. SLURM always terminates a
job if one of allocated nodes fails.
-T, --threads=nthreads
srun
uses nthreads to initiate and
control the parallel job.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-l , --label
Prepend task number to lines of
stdout
/
stderr
.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-u , --unbuffered
Do not line buffer
stdout
from
remote tasks.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-m, --distribu-
tion=block|cyclic
Distribution method for remote
processes.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
--mpi=mpi_type
Identify the type of MPI to be used.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
--jobid=id
Initiate a job step under an already
allocated job id.
Do not use it. SLURM_JOBID is set in job
environment to associate job with slurm
allocation.
-v
Verbose operation.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-d, --slurm-debug=level
A debug level for slurmd.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-W, --wait=seconds
How long to wait after the first task
terminates before terminating all
remaining tasks.
Use when launching parallel tasks.
-q, --quit-on-interrupt
Quit immediately on single SIGINT.
Meaningless under LSF.
-Q, --quiet
Suppress informational message.
Use it when launching parallel tasks.
--core=type
Adjust corefile format for parallel
job.
Use it when launching parallel tasks.
-a, --attach=id
Attach
srun
to a running job.
Meaningless under LSF.
-j, --join
Join with running job.
Meaningless under LSF.
-s, --steal
Steal connection to running job.
Meaningless under LSF.
