HFSS15: Workarounds for LSF

• Some users reported ‘core’ dumps during HFSS analysis, though analysis results are fine. Workaround: Limit size of core dumps to 0 through the following job submit option:

bsub -C 0 -n <number-of-cores> -q <queue-name>

• HFSS 12.1 is able to perform DSO on 2 machines or lesser. Fails to DSO to 3 or more machines.

Workaround: Set per-thread stacksize to 10MB

• HFSS 12.1 doesn’t work with LSF versions 7.0.2 and 7.0.3.

Workaround: Copy scheduler dll from HFSS12 (LSF 7.0.3, LSF 7.0.2 issue)

• Check if latest 12.1 patch has the fixes for the above issues.
