 Check the man page of watch for details on its usage.
 
+**IMPORTANT:** most programs and scripts that use the GPU will **crash** if they run out of memory. This means that, if another user is currently taking 40\% of one GPU's memory, and you launch a script that requires more than the remaining 60\%, either your script of the other user's will crash. This may cause a really big damage for other people, that may waste hours or days of compute because of your misbehavior. Notice also that some libraries (e.g., PyTorch) do not let you set a hard limit to the GPU memory requested by your scripts. For all these reasons, you should *really* pay attention to these monitoring tools at all times.
