LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

CHUNK_JOB_SIZE = 4
End Queue
Default
Not defined
CORELIMIT
Syntax
CORELIMIT=integer
Description
The per-process (hard) core file size limit (in KB) for all of the processes belonging to a job
from this queue (see getrlimit(2)).
Default
Unlimited
CPULIMIT
Syntax
CPULIMIT=[default_limit] maximum_limit
where default_limit and maximum_limit are:
[hour:]minute[/host_name | /host_model]
Description
Maximum normalized CPU time and optionally, the default normalized CPU time allowed
for all processes of a job running in this queue. The name of a host or host model specifies the
CPU time normalization host to use.
Limits the total CPU time the job can use. This parameter is useful for preventing runaway
jobs or jobs that use up too many resources.
When the total CPU time for the whole job has reached the limit, a SIGXCPU signal is sent
to all processes belonging to the job. If the job has no signal handler for SIGXCPU, the job is
killed immediately. If the SIGXCPU signal is handled, blocked, or ignored by the application,
then after the grace period expires, LSF sends SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGKILL to the job to
kill it.
If a job dynamically spawns processes, the CPU time used by these processes is accumulated
over the life of the job.
Processes that exist for fewer than 30 seconds may be ignored.
By default, if a default CPU limit is specified, jobs submitted to the queue without a job-level
CPU limit are killed when the default CPU limit is reached.
If you specify only one limit, it is the maximum, or hard, CPU limit. If you specify two limits,
the first one is the default, or soft, CPU limit, and the second one is the maximum CPU limit.
