Configuring the LSF DRM Settings

You can set specific LSF requirements for an individual component in the simulation process flow when that component is dispatched with the LSF distributed resource manager (DRM). These settings affect the properties of the LSF job used to dispatch the workitem at run time.

  1. Select the component whose properties you want to edit, and click the Properties button on the Component Title Bar.

  2. From the Properties dialog box, click the Affinities tab.

    Select the LSF DRM option, the DRM settings are displayed. These settings are used for LSF-based dispatching of workitems using the LSF DRM. If the LSF DRM is not enabled or if the LSF DRM is not used to dispatch this workitem, these settings are ignored.

  3. Set any of the options, as desired.
