Please have a look at /usr/sge/doc/load_parameters.asc: mem_free : The amount of free memory. swap_free : The amount of free swap memory. virtual_free : The sum of mem_free and swap_free.
and `man queue_conf`: [...] s_vmem and h_vmem [...] They impose a limit on the amount of combined virtual memory consumed by all the processes in the job. -- Reuti Am 07.06.2014 um 15:23 schrieb Yago Fernández Pinilla: > Hi, > > What is exactly the difference between mem_free and h_vmem? > > Thanks in advance > > Yago > > > On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 8:30 PM, Michael Stauffer <[email protected]> wrote: > OGS/GE 2011.11p1 > > Hi, > > Is there an alternative to h_vmem that checks resident memory rather than > virtual?
