Hi All, UGE 8.2.0 (which is in Beta now) also provides h_rss (resident set size) and Univa Grid Engine will now kill jobs (if you set h_rss) if they exceed the Resident Set Size.
and if you use cgroups - you can configure 'cgroups assistance' on killing jobs which means you no longer need to turn on the supplementary group id to track processes of a job. Regards, Bill.
