lsf.acct

The lsf.acct file is the LSF task log file.

The LSF Remote Execution Server, RES (see res(8)), generates a record for each task completion or failure. If the RES task logging is turned on (see lsadmin(8)), it appends the record to the task log file lsf.acct.<host_name>.

lsf.acct structure

The task log file is an ASCII file with one task record per line. The fields of each record are separated by blanks. The location of the file is determined by the LSF_RES_ACCTDIR variable defined in lsf.conf. If this variable is not defined, or the RES cannot access the log directory, the log file is created in /tmp instead.

Fields

The fields in a task record are ordered in the following sequence:
pid (%d)

Process ID for the remote task

userName (%s)

User name of the submitter

exitStatus (%d)

Task exit status

dispTime (%ld)

Dispatch time – time at which the task was dispatched for execution

termTime (%ld)

Completion time – time when task is completed/failed

fromHost (%s)

Submission host name

execHost (%s)

Execution host name

cwd (%s)

Current working directory

cmdln (%s)

Command line of the task

lsfRusage
The following fields contain resource usage information for the job (see getrusage(2)). If the value of some field is unavailable (due to job exit or the difference among the operating systems), -1 will be logged. Times are measured in seconds, and sizes are measured in KB.
ru_utime (%f)

User time used

ru_stime (%f)

System time used

ru_maxrss (%f)

Maximum shared text size

ru_ixrss (%f)

Integral of the shared text size over time (in KB seconds)

ru_ismrss (%f)

Integral of the shared memory size over time (valid only on Ultrix)

ru_idrss (%f)

Integral of the unshared data size over time

ru_isrss (%f)

Integral of the unshared stack size over time

ru_minflt (%f)

Number of page reclaims

ru_majflt (%f)

Number of page faults

ru_nswap (%f)
