If you want the scheduler to treat any run limits as absolute, define ABS_RUNLIMIT=Y in lsb.params or in lsb.applications for the application profile that is associated with your job. When ABS_RUNLIMIT=Y is defined in lsb.params or in the application profile, the run time limit is not normalized by the host CPU factor. Absolute wall-clock run time is used for all jobs submitted with a run limit configured.
