Have a look at pbs_resources, the ones that probably interest you are mem, pmem, vmem and pvmem. The leading 'p' on the options that have it means that they are a per-process request. If you're using Linux then you'll need to be aware that the resource limit set by mem/pmem won't be enforced by the kernel if you're code is doing allocations over 128KB as current glibc versions use mmap() for that. This means that if you want code to fail malloc() when they reach their limits then you'll be best off to set pvmem. cheers!
