Thanks, but I don't quite get it.
I can set h_vmem manually for each machine, thereby killing any jobs
that run on those machines that consume more than that amount of memory
right?
I can also make h_vmem consumable, so that users can request the amount
of memory they need with "-l h_vmem=2G" and the jobs will only get run
on machines that have h_vmem set above that, right?
But I can't have h_vmem set automatically for each machine, say equal to
mem_total? Could I do it in a load sensor?
