more detailed definition of task constraints (memory, cputime) #76

Description

@jkrue

We have to enhance the task specification for memory and cpu time ? For now it is unclear if given constraints limits the task for all requested cores or just for a single one. My "natural" understanding (limitation aims the whole task) could be complete different from another user (e.g. limitation aims a single core).

example :

{
  "user" : "bibiserv",
  "cores" : 32,
  "memory" : 120,
  "cputime" : 10,
  "stdout" : "/vol/.../bibiserv2_2016-07-13_122031_Ts5W6",
  "stderr" : "/vol/.../bibiserv2_2016-07-13_122031_Ts5W6",
  "cmd" : "/vol/.../bibiserv2_2016-07-13_122031_Ts5W6/BatchFile_751909506511939005.sh",
  "container" : null
}

For my understanding the whole task needs 32 core to run and is limited to 120 GB memory and 10 hour cpu time. A typically grid engine user understands the above definition as memory limitation per core (3840 GB = 32 * 120 GB) and cpu time limitation for the whole task.
