SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR JOB-LEVEL MEMORY GOVERNING

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for governing memory allocation in response to job requests. In one embodiment, a job request may be received from a user, the job request specifying a data processing job to be completed. A memory usage limit and a quantity of memory needed for the data processing job may be determined. Upon determining that the quantity of memory needed for the data processing job exceeds the memory usage limit, instructions may be provided to cancel the data processing job. On the other hand, if the quantity of memory needed for the data processing job does not exceed the memory limit, execution of the data processing job may be allowed.
