ESTIMATED_RUNTIME

Syntax

ESTIMATED_RUNTIME=[hour:]minute[/host_name | /host_model]

Description

This parameter specifies an estimated run time for jobs. LSF uses the ESTIMATED_RUNTIME value for scheduling purposes only, and does not kill jobs that exceed this value unless the jobs also exceed a defined RUNLIMIT. The format of runtime estimate is same as the RUNLIMIT parameter.

The job-level runtime estimate specified by bsub -We, the ESTIMATED_RUNTIME setting in an application profile, or the ESTIMATED_RUNTIME setting in a queue all override the cluster-wide ESTIMATED_RUNTIME setting.

The following LSF features use the ESTIMATED_RUNTIME value to schedule jobs:
  • Job chunking
  • Advance reservation
  • SLA
  • Slot reservation
  • Backfill
  • Allocation planner
