Does linux kill heavy and long running background processes after they reach some threshold?

Does linux kill heavy and long running background processes after they
reach some threshold?

If I start a really heavy (memory/cpu intensive) running really long
running process will the OS terminate it after a period of time
arbitrarily?
I.e. are there any limits beyond which the OS would stop a background
process from running?
Are these limits configurable? Where are they defined?
