5.1. Examples Without Checkpointing

  • Serial 3D Fluent interactive job under LSF

    fluent 3d -scheduler=lsf

  • Serial 3D Fluent batch job under LSF, which reads the journal file called journal_file

    fluent 3d -g -i journal_file -scheduler=lsf

  • Parallel 3D Fluent interactive job under LSF, on 4 CPUs

    fluent 3d -t4 -scheduler=lsf


    Important:  PAM is an extension of LSF that manages parallel processes by choosing the appropriate compute nodes and launching child processes. When using Fluent on Linux, PAM is not used to launch Fluent (so the JOB_STARTER argument of the LSF queue should not be set). Instead, LSF will set an environment variable that contains a list of N hosts, and Fluent will use this list to launch itself.


  • Parallel 3D Fluent batch job under LSF, which uses 5 processes and reads the journal file called journal_file

    fluent 3d -t5 -g -i journal_file -scheduler=lsf
