The need for swap depends on what you run. Using applications like R or Matlab you can easily see swap activity even with 4 GB RAM per node if more than one such process runs on a node.

It would generate lots of traffic and apps on clients would have slower response. Better to do without SWAP. ++ for that if clients have >1GB RAM. Then there is little, if any at all, need for SWAP. -- Ante Karamatic <ivoks-GeWIH/[email protected]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
