Hello,

I'm interested in hearing some best practice solutions in fine-grained management memory resources on clusters of SMPs. How do you enforce real memory usage inside (RHEL-based) cluster nodes running multiple serial jobs simultaneously? More specifically, how to do this efficiently when some of the jobs map copious amounts of virtual memory but have only a fraction of it resident at any given time?

As SMP systems keep getting constantly fatter (and the potential for users interfering with each others' jobs increasing) it would be great to have something like AIX's WLM (Workload Manager) on Linux to effectively manage intra-SMP resources.
