LSF (Platform LSF)

Platform LSF (Load Sharing Facility) is a job scheduling system that manages and coordinates the execution of complex computational tasks across multiple computers or servers. It ensures that resources are used efficiently, jobs are prioritized appropriately, and workloads are balanced to prevent overloads. LSF automates task distribution, monitors progress, and handles job dependencies, making large-scale data processing, research simulations, or analytics more organized and reliable. Essentially, it acts as a traffic controller for high-performance computing environments, optimizing system performance and reducing manual effort.
