Hi Mahmood,
>> will it reserve (looks for) 200GB of memory for the job? Or this is the hard >> limit of the memory required by job? No, this indicates the amount of residual/real memory as reqeusted per node. Your job will be only runnable on nodes that offer at least 200 GB main memory (sum of memory on all sockets/cpu of the node). Please also have a closer look at man sbatch.
