[SCore-users] physical memory limit??

Use the sc_sonsole command and type the following

% sc_console <scored-server-hostname>
SCore-D Console: limit queue all memory 300
SCore-D Console: limit
<limit values are displaed>
SCore-D Console:  exit
Disconnected. Reconnect ? (or ^D to exit) ^D
%

In this case, limit value is set to 3 times (300%) of physical memory 
size.

I have ever tried what you are going to do. Amazingly, the NPB jobs 
could run very well (scale ?) even if the total memory consumption is 
more than the physical memory size at that time. 

I would appreciate it if you would let me know your result.
