I suspect it has to do with exporting to all nodes instead of just the current one...)

Could you provide some pointers (linux and parallel stuff)? Books, online tutorials, etc...

I really feel the need to know better what is happening, but i dont know how to start...

thanks,

Hi sampaio,

I put " export MPI_BUFFER_SIZE="200000000000000000" " in my etc/bashrc . But when I run "paraFoam", I still get the error information as follows:

new cannot satisfy memory request.
This does not necessarily mean you have run out of virtual memory.
It could be due to a stack violation caused by e.g. bad use of pointers or an out of date shared library
Aborted

My grids are about 4.67 million. I don't know why? Could you help me?

Sandy
