[Swift-user] Swift is stuck with 5K jobs

[Andriy Fedorov]

Hi,

I am using swift with coasters on NCSA Abe. I use binary build of
swift 0.92. My script should generate about 5K individual jobs. When I
try to run it, I have

Swift svn swift-r4157 cog-r3056

RunID: 20110314-0951-f3c45zja
Progress:
Exception in thread "Timer-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Exception in thread "SIGINT handler"
Exception in thread "SIGINT handler" Exception in thread "SIGTERM handler"

After this error, I am not able to terminate the script, and no jobs
get scheduled to pbs apparently.

Am I hitting some limit? Is 5K jobs too much?

How do I terminate swift now not to waste cycles of the head node?

Thanks
