Limit memory consumption #20

Dear all,

is it possible to set a limit to the RAM Shannon will allocate to run multiple assembly jobs on one node (we have 48 CPUs and 500G of RAM per node) or will the program simply try to use all the RAM that is available?

Cheers, Dario

Dear Dario,

Currently there is no such option to limit the RAM. Perhaps you could consider to use ulimit under Unix to avoid overload RAM? Hope it helps. Thanks!
