[Experimental] LSF options.

Source: R/crew_options_lsf.R
crew_options_lsf.Rd

Set options for LSF job management.

Usage

crew_options_lsf(
  verbose = FALSE,
  command_submit = as.character(Sys.which("bsub")),
  command_terminate = NULL,
  script_directory = tempdir(),
  script_lines = character(0L),
  cwd = getwd(),
  log_output = "/dev/null",
  log_error = "/dev/null",
  memory_gigabytes_limit = NULL,
  memory_gigabytes_required = NULL,
  cores = NULL
)

Arguments

verbose

Logical, whether to see console output and error messages when submitting worker.

command_submit

Character of length 1, file path to the executable to submit a worker job.

command_terminate

Deprecated on 2025-08-26 in crew.cluster version 0.3.8.9001. No longer needed.

script_directory

Character of length 1, directory path to the job scripts. Just before each job submission, a job script is created in this folder. Script base names are unique to each launcher and worker, and the launcher deletes the script when the worker is manually terminated. tempdir() is the default, but it might not work for some systems. tools::R_user_dir("crew.cluster", which = "cache") is another reasonable choice.

script_lines

Optional character vector of additional lines to be added to the job script just after the more common flags. An example would be script_lines = "module load R" if your cluster supports R through an environment module.

cwd

Character of length 1, directory to launch the worker from (as opposed to the system default). cwd = "/home" translates to a line of #BSUB -cwd /home in the LSF job script. cwd = getwd() is the default, which launches workers from the current working directory. Set cwd = NULL to omit this line from the job script.

log_output

Character of length 1, file pattern to control the locations of the LSF worker log files. By default, both standard output and standard error go to the same file. log_output = "crew_log_%J.log" translates to a line of #BSUB -o crew_log_%J.log in the LSF job script, where %J is replaced by the job ID of the worker. The default is /dev/null to omit these logs. Set log_output = NULL to omit this line from the job script.

log_error

Character of length 1, file pattern for standard error. log_error = "crew_error_%J.err" translates to a line of #BSUB -e crew_error_%J.err in the LSF job script, where %J is replaced by the job ID of the worker. The default is /dev/null to omit these logs. Set log_error = NULL to omit this line from the job script.

memory_gigabytes_limit

Positive numeric scalar, memory limit in gigabytes of the worker. memory_gigabytes_limit = 4 translates to a line of #BSUB -M 4G in the LSF job script. memory_gigabytes_limit = NULL omits this line.

memory_gigabytes_required

Positive numeric scalar, memory requirement in gigabytes. memory_gigabytes_required = 4 translates to a line of #BSUB -R 'rusage[mem=4G]' in the LSF job script. memory_gigabytes_required = NULL omits this line.

cores

Optional positive integer scalar, number of CPU cores for the worker. cores = 4 translates to a line of #BSUB -n 4 in the LSF job script. cores = NULL omits this line.

Value

A classed list of options.

Retryable options

Retryable options are deprecated in crew.cluster as of 2025-01-27 (version 0.3.4).
