Thread: LSF's event file

Originally posted by: hbui, Thu Oct 26, 2006 4:59 pm

I am working on analyzing the LSF's event file and I have several difficulties.

First of all , it's kind of difficult to find the documents which give accurate definitions about the contents of LSF's event file. Does anybody know where to find these documents?

Second of all , could anybody define exactly what CPU_TIME is or give a formular to calculate that ? . I know RUN_TIME is the result of STARTING_TIME(time a job starts to run) minus FINISHING_TIME and PENDING_TIME is the result of STARTING_TIME minus QUEUE_TIME(submission time of a job)

Please let me know if you have some information about these questions.

For documentation on the lsb.events file, try looking in the
Platform LSF Reference manual, under Configuration Files->lsb.events.
This is page 321 in the version 6.2 manual.

As for cpuTime, that's the actual cpu time consumed by the job. It's
collected by the RES processes -- it's not a calculated number.

I hope this helps...

You can also look in the lsf6.2_sdk document to get some hints on processing the lsb.events file. There's actually a section titled "Processing LSF Batch Log Files" beginning on page 88 of that doc.

You can also try looking up the man page for lsb.events - The man page is supposed to describe the contents of the lsb.events file.
