Hello

While running a job on 1 processor, I got the following error

TERM_RUNLIMIT: job killed after reaching LSF run time limit.
Exited with exit code 1.

Any solutions as to why I got this error ? Could it be due to the
Linux server or the application

What is LSF ?

Thanks

LSF is Load Sharing Facility. It is a commercial application that allows you to run your jobs using multiple CPUs based on any number of criteria. If you don't specify the criteria then the system assumes certain defaults. Knowing this the error probably makes sense to you now. Your job needed more time to run than what was allowed by default.

You might want to check with your system administrator (or the LSF administrator) to see how you can get more time resources for your job or if they can guide you into troubleshooting where your job could be failing that causes it to exceed the system time limits.
