Re: [HTCondor-users] RequestMemory on submit file fails

[Francisco Leite de Castro <frankie.lc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

The idea was to have something in the lines of:

if(a is undefined) {

  Âa = 2000;

} else {

  Âa = a + 2000;

}

Making sure that memory would increase in steps. But if I'm making condor_q crash it's probably due to a self referencing issue as you stated. I pursued a different approach that I've put bellow in case it helps someone.

request_memory = ifthenelse(isUndefined(MemoryUsage),Â2000, quantize(MemoryUsage,Â2000) )

As this will still make sure memory increases in neat steps of 2000.

Many thanks for your help!

Francisco

Hi Francisco,

IÃm not sure I understand the intent above. Ârequest_memory is translated to RequestMemory. Hence, the _expression_ becomes:

RequestMemory = ifThenElse( isUndefined(RequestMemory), 2000, 4000 )

I.e., thereÃs a self-reference here (fwiw - IÃve seen a few tickets over the last year resolving nasties with self-references. You may have hit one!). How do you intend this to evaluate?
