A warning is generated if either: • too much or too little memory is reserved: mem_res versus max(vmem); or • the job efficiency is too low or is too high. Click on the link under the jobID.tID heading to view the job's corresponding graph.


The quantity mem_res is the amount of memory reserved for the job, while max(vmem) is the maximum amount of memory a job has used (so far); to optimize the cluster's memory usage, these two numbers should be similar.


The job efficiency, eff., is the amount of CPU used so far divided by the product of the age by the number of slots. • A low efficiency means that the job is not using all the allocated CPUs (slots); • a value above 100% means that the job is using more CPUs cycles (threads) than the requested number of slots (nslots).
