I will see if I can run maui through a debugger to see where in the code this is dying. My guess is that the places where it dies, depends on which of these various compiled in limits has been exceeded. I might need some assistance trying to figure out how to exceed particular limits since I am not completely sure what each of the limits you suggested actually does. -- Steven DuChene

This job is being done in Moab according to someone I talked to at Adaptive Computing's booth at SC2011, but I would not expect them to do it in Maui as it competes with Moab. It will have to be done by the community, that is you, me or someone else... -- Michel Béland, analyste en calcul scientifique [email protected] bureau S-250, pavillon Roger-Gaudry (principal), Université de Montréal téléphone : 514 343-6111 poste 3892 télécopieur : 514 343-2155 Calcul Québec (www.calculquebec.ca) Calcul Canada (calculcanada.org) _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
