Yes it is a PPC based system. The machines are duel G5 with 1 gig of ram. I am only running 1 thread per cpu, (not over allocating). It is not a maximized run, when running i see 500MB free on the nodes. Each thread uses ~110MB.

I could not answer wether or not OSX and PPC 970FX have a MMU though im sure it would dont know why not, but thats speculation on my part. Also I have no idea what the memory window question is, i will look it up on google.

aon075:~ root# dmesg | grep GM
GM: Board at bus 6 slot 3 now attaching

I have tried moving around machines that the run is done on to the

The error is:

This is on a PPC-based OSX system? How many MPI processes per node are you starting? And I assume this is a pretty maximallly sized HPL run for the nodes' memory? And this system has an IOMMU, yes? Do you know how big its
memory window is?

Could you send me the output of "dmesg | grep GM" after loading GM? We're
looking for a line of the form:
GM: gm_register_memory will be able to lock XXX pages (YYY MBytes)

thanks,
