It seems to me that Torque views mem as the total memory. That is what I 
guess from qstat -f from one of the jobs that is running on our cluster. 
Here is an excerpt:

     resources_used.mem = 182440144kb
     resources_used.vmem = 252290712kb
     Resource_List.mem = 250gb
     Resource_List.nodect = 16
     Resource_List.nodes = 16:ppn=4

As our nodes have 8 cores and 16 GB, I do not see how mem could be 
interpreted as memory per node with the numbers that I get.
