Resurrecting an older thread where I need to obtain the value for memory in a submitted job. Turns out this is not an easy case with the method I'm trying to use so hope that there is just some variable I am overlooking.
The trivial case was simply to look at job_desc.pn_min_memory. And this works fine as long as jobs are submitted with a --mem= flag. But there are two other ways that jobs get submitted which make this value something like 2^63. The first is when no memory is specified and users rely on the default. The second is with --mem-per-cpu=X For that second case I can detect using (job_desc.pn_min_memory - slurm.MEM_PER_CPU) * job_desc.min_cpus But I find that when users are using the default memory allocation, it isn't so easy to detect since it appears that both of the memory values are set to 2^63 or close to that number. Maybe it's 2^64 -1. Whatever. I just feel that there has to be a better way! Is there soemthing that I'm missing? Perhaps a tres.memory or something which has the right value when in job_submit.lua? Thanks, Bill
