Hi Shamim, Thank you for providing additional information on the issue. Let's address your questions one by one:
* Memory Usage If the error message is about "grid structure consistency," that usually points to an issue setting up the Carpet grids rather than a lack of memory. Maybe Carpet is having a problem breaking up the grids beyond 8 cores? I suggest you submit a ticket to https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/ with the full instructions on reproducing the problem. * Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Key You're correct in your assumption that the Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key issue might not be directly causing the problem you're facing with the BNSM runs, especially since the simulations ran successfully despite the warning. However, I'd still recommend addressing this issue to eliminate it as a potential confounding factor. -Zach * * * Zachariah Etienne Assoc. Prof. of Physics, U. of Idaho Adjunct Assoc.
