Hi Amirhossein,<br>
<br>
Did you specify the memory usage in your job script or at command
line and what parameters did you use exactly?<br>
<br>
Doing a quick search I believe that the following will solve the
problem although I haven't tested myself:<br>
<br>
$ qsub -l mem_free=MEM_NEEDED,h_vmem=MEM_MAX yourjob.sh<br>
<br>
Here, MEM_NEEDED and MEM_MAX are the lower and upper bounds for your
job's memory requirements.<br>
<br>
