LSF (Load Sharing Facility)

Load Sharing Facility (LSF) is a system that manages and distributes computational tasks across multiple computers or servers. Its goal is to optimize resource use, ensuring tasks are processed efficiently without overloading any single machine. By dynamically assigning jobs based on each server’s current load and capabilities, LSF enhances performance, reduces wait times, and improves reliability. It’s commonly used in large-scale computing environments, such as research or enterprise data centers, to streamline processing and maximize the effectiveness of available hardware.
