Memory usage

Hi,

I’m migrating my Telemac setup to a different cluster and I have noticed that using the same model, the memory usage is larger but the model runs faster.

This is seff’s output from the original cluster:

Nodes: 4

Cores per node: 24

CPU Utilized: 4-19:08:13

CPU Efficiency: 99.74% of 4-19:26:24 core-walltime

Job Wall-clock time: 01:12:09

Memory Utilized: 46.24 GB (estimated maximum)

Memory Efficiency: 19.59% of 236.00 GB (59.00 GB/node)

For the same model, on the new cluster, I’ve got:

Nodes: 4

Cores per node: 24

CPU Utilized: 2-01:29:18

CPU Efficiency: 99.03% of 2-01:58:24 core-walltime

Job Wall-clock time: 00:31:14

Memory Utilized: 95.99 GB (estimated maximum)

Memory Efficiency: 40.67% of 236.00 GB (59.00 GB/node)

What could be the reason for these changes? Could this affect the results from the model?

So far, I haven’t compared the models’ results since I was focused on runtime.
