ABS_RUNLIMIT

Syntax

ABS_RUNLIMIT=y | Y | n | N

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.

If set or changed, run the badmin hrestart all command to restart every sbatchd daemon so that the changes take effect.

Default

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