Description
Main change here is to make sure the docker container has enough shared memory to generate predictions.

Fixes
Generating predictions in parallel (even with 2 cores) resulted in the error
'memcpy' resulted in a SIGBUS (no shared memory left)
. Docker containers have 64 MB shared memory by default, which is apparently sufficient for modeling training in parallel but not generating predictions. This change assigns 2 GB of shared memory, which is enough for generating predictions in parallel with up to 3 cores (and maybe more -- didn't test).
