[HTCondor-users] Why doesn't HTCondor-CE support the standard RequestMemory attribute?

[KÃhn, Max (SCC) <max.fischer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Weâve lately had multiple user groups confused by HTCondor-CE handling the standard RequestCPU and RequestMemory attributes. Specifically, RequestCPU is purposely used but RequestMemory is purposely ignored in the transforms.
I am considering to patch our CEs to handle both attributes consistently to avoid hard to spot usage errors. Of course, that raises the questionâ

Why *does* HTCondor-CE discard RequestMemory? Is there some pitfall or negative effect of using this attribute that I might not be considering?

Cheers,
Max
