Isn't there still some confusion surrounding the term
GlueHostMainMemoryRAMSize - is it the RAM per node or the RAM per
core? I suspect that jobs often request RAM per job and sites
advertise RAM per node, as is recommended in the yaim documentation:
CE_MINPHYSMEM RAM size (Mbytes) (per WN and not per CPU) (WN
specification).

The real problem is that the job's requirements are not passed to the
scheduler. If they were it would be able to operate as intended and
manage node memory properly.
