Amount of memory (RAM)

Each compute node has a fixed amount of RAM. You can specify how much memory your job needs either per CPU core, per node, or in total:

• --mem-per-cpu — specifies the amount of memory per requested CPU core.
• --mem-per-node — specifies the amount of memory per requested compute node. Overrides --mem-per-cpu.
• --mem — specifies the total amount of memory for the entire job. Overrides both --mem-per-cpu and --mem-per-node.

Memory sizes are specified as N<unit> where unit is one of b, kb, mb, gb, tb, pb (e.g., 500mb, 32gb).
