Hi Edoardo,

Very interesting article. Thank you.

One thing I tend to do, rather than hard code the MXJ values for hosts, is to create an entry in lsb.resources like this:

Begin Limit
NAME=SlotsPerProcessor
PER_HOST=all
SLOTS_PER_PROCESSOR=25
End Limit

This will allow all hosts to have 25 slots for every CPU core. Thus if you add CPU cores, LSF will automatically adjust and you don't have to manually change the configuration each time.

I always use the UT settings in the host definitions as you have described to ensure that a host won't be overloaded.

Cheers
Paul
