ABS_RUNLIMIT

Syntax

ABS_RUNLIMIT=y | Y

Description

If set, absolute (wall-clock) run time is used instead of normalized run time for all jobs submitted with the following values:

  • Run time limit or run time estimate specified by the -W or -We option of bsub

  • RUNLIMIT queue-level parameter in lsb.queues

  • RUNLIMIT application-level parameter in lsb.applications

  • RUNTIME parameter in lsb.applications

If the CPU factor for a submission host is changed, then the RUNLIMIT for a job that is already submitted will be recalculated.

Note: When ABS_RUNLIMIT is enabled, the bqueues -l command does not show the run limit normalized to the host.

Default

Set to Y at time of installation. If otherwise undefined, then N.
