Ok, ok. It is indeed a CFD program, and Gus got it right. Number of cells per core means memory per core (sorry for the inaccuracy). My PC has 12GB of RAM. And the same calculation runs fine in an old Ubuntu8.04 32bits with 4GB RAM. What I find strange is that the same problems runs with 1 core (without evoking mpiexec) and then for large number of cores/processes, for instance mpiexec -n 32. Something in between not. And it is not a bug in the program because it runs in other machines and the code has not been changed.
Anymore hints? Thanks in advance. Guilherme dr. ir. Guilherme Vaz CFD Researcher Research & Development E mailto:g....@marin.nl T +31 317 49 33 25 MARIN 2, Haagsteeg, P.O.
