title: Error in SLURM cluster - Detected 1 oom-kill event(s): how to improve running jobs
body: <p>I'm working in a SLURM cluster and I was running several processes at the same time (on several input files), and using the same bash script.</p>
  
  <p>At the end of the job, the process was killed and this is the error I obtained.</p>
  
  <pre><code>slurmstepd: error: Detected 1 oom-kill event(s) in step 1090990.batch cgroup.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My guess is that there is some issue with memory. But how can I know more about?
  Did I not provide enough memory? or as user I was requesting more than what I have access to? </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion?</p>
