RUN_TIME_DECAY

Syntax

RUN_TIME_DECAY=Y | y | N | n

Description

Used only with fair share scheduling. Enables decay for run time at the same rate as the decay set by HIST_HOURS for cumulative CPU time and historical run time.

In the calculation of a user’s dynamic share priority, this factor determines whether run time is decayed.

This parameter can also be set for an individual queue in lsb.queues. If defined, the queue value takes precedence.

Restrictions

Running badmin reconfig or restarting mbatchd during a job's run time results in the decayed run time being recalculated.

When a suspended job using run time decay is resumed, the decay time is based on the elapsed time.

Default

N
