                          <br>
                          I got this error (also attached, full) when
                          running my code. It happens after a few
                          thousand time steps.<br>
                          <br>
                          The strange thing is that for 2 different
                          clusters, it stops at 2 different time steps.<br>
                          <br>
                          I wonder if it's related to DM since this
                          happens after I added DM into my code.<br>
                          <br>
                          In this case, how can I find out the error?
                          I'm thinking valgrind may take very long and
                          gives too many false errors.</blockquote>

                        <div>It is very easy to find leaks. You just run
                          a few steps with -malloc_dump and see what is
                          left over.</div>

                Hi Matt, <br>
                <br>
                Do you mean running my a.out with the -malloc_dump and
                stop after a few time steps?<br>
                <br>
                What and how should I "see" then?</div>

            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>-malloc_dump outputs all unfreed memory to the screen
              after PetscFinalize(), so you should see the leak.</div>
            <div>I guess it might be possible to keep creating things
              that you freed all at once at the end, but that is less
              likely.</div>

    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    I got the output. I have zipped it since it's rather big. So it
    seems to be from DM routines but can you help me where the error is
    from?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Its really hard to tell by looking at it. What I do is remove things until there is no leak, then progressively</div><div>put thing back in until I have the culprit. Then you can think about what is not destroyed.</div><div><br></div><div>  Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
