Most/all commands have the -V option which prints the version, e.g.:
bsub -V
Submit a new job. The most important command!
By default, LSF only sends you an email with the stdout and stderr included in it, and does not show or store anything locally.
One option to store things locally is to use:
bsub -oo stdout.log -eo stderr.log 'echo myout; echo myerr 1>&2'
as documented at:Or to use files with the job id in them:
bsub -oo %J.out -eo %J.err 'echo myout; echo myerr 1>&2'
By default bsub -oo:
  • also contains the LSF metadata in addition to the actual submitted process stdout
  • prevents the completion email from being sent
To get just the stdout to the file, use bsub -N -oo which:
  • stores only stdout on the file
  • re-enables the completion email
as mentioned at:
Another option is to run with the bsub -I option:
bsub -I 'echo a;sleep 1;echo b;sleep 1;echo c'
This immediately prints stdout and stderr to the terminal.
Run bsub on foreground, show stdout on host stdout live with an interactive with the bsub -I option:
bsub -I 'echo a;sleep 1;echo b;sleep 1;echo c'; echo done
Ctrl + C kills the job on remote as well as locally.

Some good insights on the earlier history of the industry at: The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray by Charles J. Murray (1997).
The scale where human brain simulation becomes possible according to some estimates.

Intel supercomputer market share from 1993 to 2020
. Source. This graph is shocking, they just took over the entire market! Some good pre-Intel context at The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray by Charles J. Murray (1997), e.g. in those earlier days, custom architectures like Cray's and many others dominated.
