Launch np workers on a cluster managed by IBM's Platform Load Sharing Facility. bsub_flags can be used to pass flags to bsub that are specific to your cluster or workflow needs. ssh_cmd can be used to launch workers from other than the cluster head node (e.g. your personal workstation). retry_delays is a vector of numbers specifying in seconds how long to repeatedly wait for a worker to start. throttle specifies how many workers to launch at once. Having -f in bpeek flags (which is the default) will let stdout of workers to be displayed on master too.

Examples

addprocs_lsf(1000; ssh_cmd=`ssh login`, throttle=10)

Launch np workers on a cluster managed by slurm. retry_delays is a vector of numbers specifying in seconds how long to repeatedly wait for a worker to start. Defaults to an exponential backoff.

Examples

addprocs_slurm(100; retry_delays=Iterators.repeated(0.1))
