Description Moe Jette 2017-01-09 10:08:37 MST

The memory and temporary disk space specifications are MB by default. For compatibility with LSF, make the default sizes (without suffix of GB, MB, etc.) be in units of GB rather than MB.

Requested by Genentech.

Comment 3 Moe Jette 2017-01-09 10:28:19 MST

NOTE: The internal slurm data structures and the default/maximum memory specification format in slurm.conf is NOT changed. Only the default units for --mem, --mem-per-cpu, and --tmp for the salloc, sbatch and srun commands. Use of a suffix in the specification (e.g. '--mem=128m") can be used to specify other units.
