Ali, Korey, thanks for your suggestions. It happens right away, as soon as "process.cc" start initiating the memory space for the program. Valgrind does not detect any issue on my laptop, and unfortunately I cannot run it on the cluster.
Nobody else is using the cluster, so it's the perfect time for me to figure out this issue. I am requesting 512MB of physical memory. I suspect that it might be a problem with the way the program is loaded/copied over the NFS. I am still digging. -Andrea On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 3:06 PM, Korey Sewell <[email protected]> wrote: > Also, how much memory are yuou asking for?
