[HTCondor-users] Memory requests increasing

["Rochford, Steve" <s.rochford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're running Condor 7.8.2 and seeing that some jobs never complete. The log file below is from a job using Abaqus. I submit the job via Condor and it gets picked up by a machine. Provided that no-one reboots the machine then the file gets processed in about 3 hours on a machine with 4GB of RAM. There's a a lot of swapping to disk but it all works.

I'm not sure that I understand what the log below is telling me; the final lines are easy - the user aborted because nothing had happened but is there anything significant about the increasing "ResidentSetSize"?
