1610724 : Your held jobs¶

Created: 2026-06-19T20:43:12Z - current status: new¶

Summary: A batch of 3,631 submitted jobs is currently held because their actual memory usage (~19 GB) exceeds the requested memory allocation (~10 GB). The system enforces a limit of 1.2x the requested memory, causing these jobs to be blocked.

Anonymized Details: - Job IDs: 20182658.98–100 (and others) - Issue: Memory usage higher than 1.2 x requested memory - Observed memory usage: ~19,532 MB - Requested memory: 10,240 MB

Suggested Solution: 1. Edit & Resubmit: Increase the RequestMemory value in the job submission script to match actual requirements (e.g., ≥20,000 MB). 2. Remove Held Jobs: If no longer needed, use condor_rm <JOB_ID> to delete them. 3. Release After Edit: Modify requests via condor_edit or resubmit with corrected parameters, then release using condor_release.
