Tell fio to terminate processing after the specified period of time. It
can be quite hard to determine for how long a specified job will run, so
this parameter is handy to cap the total runtime to a given time. When

`bind', `interleave' or `local'. For `default' and `local' memory
policies, no node needs to be specified. For `prefer', only one node is
allowed. For `bind' and `interleave' the `nodelist' may be as
each block. This will automatically use hardware acceleration
(e.g. SSE4.2 on an x86 or CRC crypto extensions on ARM64) but will
