Is it possible to specify how much memory a job requires?

Question

Hi,

We have a lot of different jobs with a lot of maven tasks. Those tasks require different amounts of memory.

Say, for instance, that we have two agents, each with 4GB space. I need to run three tasks, that need, respectively, 1GB, 2GB and 3GB memory to avoid OutOfMemoryErrors when running.

Is there a way I could specify that my agents are capable of max 4GB worth of jobs, and the memory requirements of each task?

Assuming that you're running these agents on the same host, it's not possible at the moment, sorry.

Each agent can only execute one task at a time, so there is no problem?
