Platform LSF

Across enterprises of all sizes, application capability and data volumes continue to grow significantly, and drive the need for more and more compute capacity, high performance management and analysis tools.

Multiple compute silos, uneven processing, design cycle leaks and delayed results are common, even in traditional high performance computing (HPC) environments. Facing increasingly restrictive economic pressures, organizations are looking for better ways to improve IT performance, reduce infrastructure costs and expenses, and meet the demand for faster time to solution and market.

IBM Platform LSF is a powerful workload management platform for demanding, distributed HPC environments. It provides a comprehensive set of intelligent, policy-driven scheduling features that enable you to utilize all of your compute infrastructure resources and ensure optimal application performance.
