I looked into it a little bit. There are ways to tune it but I didn't see a way to exempt processes by name. It may be possible. The scenario I described above

I looked into it a little bit. There are ways to tune it but I didn't see a way to exempt processes by name. It may be possible. The scenario I described above is HPC clusters in a university environment. The problem is students running programs that are poorly written. I'd rather reboot the node and tell them to fix their code than deal with trying to accommodate their careless / naive programming.
