Hi,

For my LHC@Home project the project team do not calculate the amount of RAM usage correctly so I would like to fix it client side.

I am able to edit the rsc_memory_bound & working_set_size_smoothed to the correct values but the scheduler doesn't seems to see that the memory load is reduced.

How does the calculation of the free memory work?

I think I found the problem another config file was limiting the max number of tasks.
