How much more ram do you think they need? I'm running 1024 mb as suggested in the thread.
Do we think maybe 1280 mb might be enough?

With the amount of RAM you have, I would suggest 1536MB

On one the the two hosts which are currently running Herwig7, I set the RAM to 1024MB. Console_3 shows about 48MB swapping.
On the other hosts on which 13 Herwigs are currently running, I set the RAM to 1536MB. Within the first 4-5 days' runtime, there was no swapping. I now checked again and see values between 4 and 18MB. All tasks are still in the integration phase. I am courious how swapping will be thereafter. So for future Herwigs, I might end up with even a higher RAM than 1536MB (with 128GB I've plenty of RAM available, anyway).

I did 2048 as well, I think > 80% are fine with 1024 so a mid number could be fine.

For me my computers have plenty of memory so it not a liming factor
