[StarCluster] AWS instance runs out of memory and swaps

Dear Star Cluster users,

I'm using Star Cluster to set up an SGE and when I ran my job list, although I had specified the memory usage for each job, it submitted too many jobs on my instance and my instance started going out of memory and swapping.
I wonder if anyone knows how I could tell the SGE the max memory to consider when submitting jobs to each node so that it doesn't run the jobs if there is not enough memory available on a node.

I'm using the Cluster GPU Quadruple Extra Large instances.

Many thanks,
Amirhossein Kiani
