Set memory for ignored tasks (Express Merge)

[LinaresToine]

Fixes #12086

Status

In development

Description

Currently, "Merge" tasks, among others, have their job resource information hardcoded in setRuntimeMonitors. For these tasks, the functions that set a different memory value do not work, as they are set to ignore such tasks:

• setJobResourceInformation
• setMaxPSS

The problem with this is that Express Merge jobs in particular have shown to need more memory than the default value of 2.3 GiB. Since the memory setting functions ignore merge tasks, these jobs cant be given more memory without changing the current code.

This patch allows to avoid the tasks from being ignored in case a task is specified Adds support for setting the memory of specified taskNames, and if such taskName is of a "Merge" task it would not be ignored.

Is it backward compatible (if not, which system it affects?)

MAYBE
