Matthias Boehm commented on SYSTEMML-2085:
------------------------------------------

Well by default, we have a bufferpool, which handles evictions automatically 
and thus ensures that you will not run out of memory. The issue you referenced 
seems, however, related to OpenBLAS only - apparently they use 2*vcores buffers 
and fail if you have a total number of threads larger than that. In order to 
debug this, please have a look into the assignment of parallelism to individual 
operations. If you have 8 vcores, and run the parameter server with a degree of 
parallelism of k=4, the operations per worker need to be limited to k=2 - 
assigning a higher degree of parallelism would result in performance 
degradation due to contention. You can handle this very similar to parfor, 
which you already extended.
