cannot allocate memory

Post by chesswright »

I got an error on a case where it gives "cannot allocate memory" after it starts the calculation. The case has less than 58000 elements so I doubt hte case cane be too big. Running Code_saturne 3.0.1 on ubuntu 12.04 with 6GB memory

Hello,

Odds are that the value used to compute how much memory is to be allocated is based on some uninitialized value. To see where this occurs, at least a partial copy of your case will be necessary.

Running your case with a debug build of Code_Saturne might allow detecting the issue at an earlier stage (and in any case, will provide more detailed stacke traces).

Regards,

Yvan
