Determining per-job memory usage is valuable, but we also need to be able to see, on a per-job basis, how much memory job(s) have reserved at a point in time. Partly we need to be able to compare to the actual memory use to see if they're over-res...

Please increase size of LAST_FAILURE_REASON column in Task Attributes table.

The SSM and SIM error log is saved in LAST_FAILURE_REASON column of Task Attributes table. It is set to 2048 chars currently. However, the error message is much longer than 2048 chars. So we can't see the whole error message in Task Attributes tab...

Effective r15s/r1m/r15m values for job reservations

When using run queue length indices in rusage strings, there should be an option to have the value divided by ncpus. Since in the "total load used for scheduling" the r15s/r1m/r15m are taken from lsload -E and divided by the specific ncpus for tha...

Map memory reservation to cgroup memory.low

Mapping the memory reservation of a job to the cgroup memory.low could protect jobs from running short on memory, while in parallel allowing more memory to be used if it's available. The soft limit instead of a hard limit should prevent users to b...

Improve Multicluster overflow capabilities

The main issue with multi-cluster is the inability to set rules for returning tasks to the primary cluster. For example, if the primary site becomes free after tasks have been sent to a secondary site, it would be beneficial to return the load to ...

bjobs -o reserved_mem or bhosts -o reserved_mem

To see how much memory is reserved on a host, we need to parse the bhosts -l <hostname> command, and it doesn't give us info about which job is reserving how much memory. I'd either like to see one of the following: bhosts -o 'jobid reserved...

Set different requeue exit values for different hosts or hostgroups

Sometimes it would be helpful to set different requeue exit values for different hostgroups, something like (i.e. in lsb.applications):REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES 138 linux_hosts 210 windows_hosts 127 which would trigger a requeue for jobs exiting with va...
