LSB_MEMLIMIT_ENFORCE

Syntax

LSB_MEMLIMIT_ENFORCE=y | n

Description

Specify y to enable LSF memory limit enforcement.

If enabled, LSF sends a signal to kill all processes that exceed queue-level memory limits set by MEMLIMIT in lsb.queues or job-level memory limits specified by bsub -M mem_limit.

Otherwise, LSF passes memory limit enforcement to the OS. UNIX operating systems that support RLIMIT_RSS for setrlimit() can apply the memory limit to each process.

The following operating systems do not support memory limit at the OS level:

  • Windows

  • Sun Solaris 2.x

Default

Not defined. LSF passes memory limit enforcement to the OS.
