Different between limit_memory_hard and limit_memory_soft

Question

What is the different between limit_memory_hard and limit_memory_soft?

Please give me an example for 64GB RAM and 16 workers.

Ray Carnes (ray) · Accepted Answer

--limit-memory-soft Maximum allowed virtual memory per worker. If the limit is exceeded, the worker is killed and recycled at the end of the current request. Defaults to 2048MB. --limit-memory-hard Hard limit on virtual memory, any worker exceeding the limit will be immediately killed without waiting for the end of the current request processing. *Did you see these resources:* https://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/reference/cmdline.html#reference-cmdline [1] https://www.odo

These values are per worker.
If you have limit-memory-hard set to 2 GB and you configure 8 workers Odoo could use until 2x8 = 16 GB.

Are these values shared by the system? i.e. if i have 16BG in the system and i assign 6 to limit-memory-soft and 6 to imit-memory-hard at a theoretical maximum load of soft and hard processes my system would be left with 4GB available? is it correct?
Thx in advance for the answer.
