Hi Mahmood,
It seems your compute node is configured with this limit:
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 72089600
So when the batch job tries to set a higher limit (ulimit -v 82089600)
than permitted by the system (72089600), this must surely get rejected,
as you have discovered!
You may want to reconfigure your compute nodes' limits, for example by
setting the virtual memory limit to "unlimited" in your configuration.
If the nodes has a very small RAM memory + swap space size, you might
encounter Out Of Memory errors...

Hi,
The user can run "ulimit -v VALUE" on the frontend. However, when I
put that command in a slurm script, it says that operation is not
permitted by the user!
