Whole-node memory

The most common compute nodes at Cedar and Graham have 128GB of memory, but a small piece of that memory is reserved for the use of the operating system. If you request --mem=128G your job will not qualify to run on these "base" nodes, and therefore may wait longer than necessary to start. A memory request of --mem=128000M will allow your job to run on these nodes and therefore probably start sooner.
