Abstract

LSF (Load Sharing Facility) MultiCluster is the enabling software which allows load sharing among disparate LSF clusters. It supports transparent access to remote cluster configuration and load information, distribution of jobs among clusters, importing and exporting of batch queues between clusters, configurable user account mapping at the individual user level and automatic file transfer. This paper describes certain in-depth technical details of the internal workings of LSF MultiCluster.
