There are several processes that under linux kernel eats significantly more vmem than resident memory.

I was looking to find a source of this problem, tested the software on non-linux kernels, and found that this problem ONLY happens in linux.

For example process X eats 20mb of resident memory but 1800mb of vmem

currently, grid is limiting processes by vmem so these processes has to ask for this huge amount of ram so they can work, even if in fact they eat only little resident memory.

This makes grid unusable for processes that need a lot of resident memory, because for these processes the vmem requirements may go to hundreds of gigabytes

(for example process that needs 2gb of resident memory, may have 40gb vmem usage in linux kernel, even if it makes no sense)

There needs to be some workaround so that processes that use non-sense vmem values can live on grid as well
