Idea #8091
Updated by Brett Smith about 8 years ago
Now that Node Manager supports multiple node sizes, a job's runtime_constraints become more important for debugging it. If a job failed because, e.g., it ran out of RAM, it's good to see how much RAM it requested.
In the job status pane, show "all known runtime_constraints":http://doc.arvados.org/api/schema/Job.html. Note that some of them (docker_image, arvados_sdk_version) are already shown. Those are fine as they are don't need to be reimplemented.
It would be nice to make this human-readable by including units in the display. e.g., it could read:
> This job requires 4 node(s), each with:
>
> * 8 core(s)
> * 4096MiB RAM
The simplest thing would be to simply show a JSON dump of runtime_constraints, like we do with script_parameters.
