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.

https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/02efa7d9534718050b1e90936efa3ba0921fb347

Enable the functionality by adding "default_gbytes" to SchedulerParameters
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.
