TORQUE SERVER : How to avoid job killing when memory exceed?

Question

I install a Torque server, I add a node and it works fine.

But I don't understand how job configuration work.

Here is my job configuration: "#PBS -l vmem=128mb", my job use more memory so the Torque server kill the process. If I increase the value, it works well.

pvmem = Maximum amount of virtual memory used by any single process in the job. (Ignored on Unicos.)

There is a server configuration to let process running when they exceed memory but I didn't find this information.

Answer 1

To accomplish this, add

$ignvmem true

to your mom's config file. There are similar parameters for mem, walltime, and cputime if you wish to use them. They are documented here.
