My understanding is :<br>
<br>
the right PBS card to limit real memory use and have the job killed if going
over this limit is<br>
pvmem and not pmem or mem<br>
<br>
But pvmem only control static and heap memory so if you use particularly
a fortran compiler in <br>
automatic mode for local array on an application using local array or automatic
array (dimensionned <br>
through an integer argument in a sub routine) you won't control all the memory.<br>
<br>
And there is no way to control both stack, heap and static with one PBS card.<br>
<br>
So the trick is to make sure not to use the stack area like with pgi compiler.<br>
With pgi in static mode-Msave at least on x86_64 :<br>
then you may control all the memory because :<br>
local array go in the bss (static area)<br>
and automatic array in the heap ( in 5.2 and 6.0).<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a way to automaticaly kill jobs which use more memory than
the amount specified by -l mem = xx mb or by resources_max.mem = xx mb ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For exemple, for a queue where resources_max.mem is 6 GB, a job which
uses 9 GB of memory runs without any problem. How to avoid this and automaticaly
kill the job?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
