Hello, When you have almost no fields and propagate for a very long time I would not think that it is surprising that numerical errors accumulate. (What you're seeing is the interaction between periodic images of your sphere, amplified by numerical errors.) Why would you want to simulate for

Re: [Meep-discuss] about meep-mpi

2011-09-22 Thread Georg Wachter
Hello, MPI requires an overhead (of passing data between the processors, etc.). For short simulations you might not gain (wallclock) time at all, or even lose some. Try a long / large simulation and see if it has any effect. Good luck and regards, Georg On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 3:17 PM, Mehdi

Re: [Meep-discuss] std::bad_alloc Error

2011-07-27 Thread Georg Wachter
Hello, I head the same error on occasion. You are probably trying to generate a grid of more than ~2e9 mesh points (the maximum of integer). This appears to be currently impossible. I'm afraid the only thing you can do is reduce the grid size or look for the relevant part of the source code.
