Hi Joe,

What does the output of qconf -sc show on the two installations of SGE?
 There are three possible settings for the consumable field of a
resource: NO, YES and JOB.

NO: the resource is not consumable
YES: the resource is consumable and is per slot
JOB: the resource is consumable and is per job

This means that if the consumable is set to YES then, when using a
parallel environment, the requested amount is multiplied by the number
of slots requested.  If it's set to JOB, then the memory requested is
assumed to be for the whole job, and doesn't get multiplied by the
number of slots requested.

HTH,

Rob
