Hi All, I have been working with CR to get a patch in maui and moab to improve treatment of vmem. The patch is in maui-3.2.6p21-snap.1234905291 and will be in upcoming moab releases. Many thanks to Brian Christiansen at CR.
With the patch, maui/moab correctly detects a node's available vmem as being the total physical memory plus swap space. This can then be scheduled/allocated by requesting vmem and job's virtual memory allocation can be limited on a per process basis and periodically measured (and action taken or overuse) on a per job basis. I think this makes scheduling on vmem a good option. It's a more predictable quantity than mem/pmem.
