Submit a job with resource requirements

Procedure

The resource reservation by default applies to each host and not the job level. The example below implies the job runs on a single host. When a job runs on multiple hosts, the resource reservation applies to each host unless other LSF parameters are set, such as RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_SLOT, etc.

For example:

bsub -R "rusage[tmp=30:duration=30:decay=1]" myjob

LSF reserves 30 MB of temp space for the job. As the job runs, the amount reserved will decrease at approximately 1 MB/minute such that the reserved amount is 0 after 30 minutes.
