THREADLIMIT
Syntax THREADLIMIT=[default_limit] maximum_limit
Description
Limits the number of concurrent threads that can be part of a job. Exceeding the limit
causes the job to terminate. The system sends the following signals in sequence to all
processes belongs to the job: SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGKILL.
By default, if a default thread limit is specified, jobs submitted to the queue without a
job-level thread limit are killed when the default thread limit is reached.
If you specify only one limit, it is the maximum, or hard, thread limit. If you specify two
limits, the first one is the default, or soft, thread limit, and the second one is the
maximum thread limit.
Both the default and the maximum limits must be positive integers. The default limit
must be less than the maximum limit. The default limit is ignored if it is greater than the
maximum limit.
Examples THREADLIMIT=6
No default thread limit is specified. The value 6 is the default and maximum thread limit.
THREADLIMIT=6 8
The first value (6) is the default thread limit. The second value (8) is the maximum thread
limit.

use in this queue.

USERS
Syntax USERS=all [~user_name ...] [~user_group ...] |
[user_name ...] [user_group [
~user_group ...] ...]
Description
A space-separated list of user names or user groups that can submit jobs to the queue.
Use the reserved word
all to specify all LSF users. LSF cluster administrators are
automatically included in the list of users, so LSF cluster administrators can submit jobs
to this queue, or switch any user’s jobs into this queue, even if they are not listed.
If user groups are specified, each user in the group can submit jobs to this queue. If
FAIRSHARE is also defined in this queue, only users defined by both parameters can
submit jobs, so LSF administrators cannot use the queue if they are not included in the
share assignments.
User names must be valid login names.
User group names can be LSF user groups or UNIX and Windows user groups.
Use the keyword
all to specify all users or user groups in a cluster.
