Short Description
Adding options to the qsub command, so that only machines with enough available memory are used to execute your jobs.
When submitting your job to the queue, add the following options to your qsub command:
-l mem_free=8G -l mem_token=8G
Of course, replace 8 with whatever memory requirements (in gigabytes) your job actually has.
If you want to specify 700 megabytes, you can use:
-l mem_free=700M -l mem_token=700M
