Hi,

I was trying to run a program that calls 8 processors (with max. RAM of 2 GB per processor). I want to run this program on my cluster that runs SGE. The cluster has 2 nodes, and each node has 62 cores, and 248GB/node. Currently, I use the scripts below, but the program (softx below) crashes out after a little while (it runs but exits without any exception) and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Here are my scripts:

submit.sh:

#!/bin/bash

#$ -l mem_free=32G

softx /home/pc/code/test.sh

==========

I submit this on SGE with the following command:

qsub -q long.q submit.sh

Should I be specifying the number of processors that are generated by softx? If so, how do I do that?

thanks!

Here are the details. Which limit was exceeded? And how can I rectify?
