Synopsis

bsub -We [hour:]minute[/host_name | /host_model]

Description

LSF uses the estimated value for job scheduling purposes only, and does not kill jobs that exceed this value unless the jobs also exceed a defined runtime limit. The format of runtime estimate is same as run limit set by the -W option.

Use JOB_RUNLIMIT_RATIO in lsb.params to limit the runtime estimate users can set. If JOB_RUNLIMIT_RATIO is set to 0 no restriction is applied to the runtime estimate.

The job-level runtime estimate setting overrides the RUNTIME setting in an application profile in lsb.applications.
