As a follow up to my last problem, I would like to know how can I tell
slurm to increase the virtual memory size for a process?
have you read the messages on this list?
first, you can ask for the correct amount of memory.
this approach assumes that it is dangerous to allow VSZ > RSS.
that's conservative, but may be wise.
alternatively, you can ask slurm not to limit VSZ: in cgroup.conf, have
ConstrainSwapSpace=no
this does not actually permit arbitrary VSZ, since there are mechanisms
outside the cgroup limit that affect max VSZ (overcommit sysctls, swap space)
The program has no problem when I run it outside of the slurm via
terminal/bash.
all that tells you is that the environments are different in some way(s),
which is neither surprising nor informative.
