<div>Did you used the same number of MPI ranks, same build options on your pc and on cluster? If not, you can try to align options on your pc with those on your cluster to see if you can reproduce the error on your pc. You can also try valgrind to see if there
are memory errors like use of uninitialized variables etc.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">You need to test on your personal computer with multiple MPI processes (e.g., mpirun -n 2 ...) before moving to big machines. You may also need to configure petsc with --with-dedugging=1 --COPTFLAGS="-O0 -g" etc to ease debugging.<br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m encountering a problem with my code’s behavior on multiple processors. When I run it on my personal computer it works just fine, but when I use it on our computing cluster it produces an error (in one of the root-finding functions,
an assert statement is not satisfied) and aborts.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I just run on one processor then both machines can run the code just fine, but they give different results (maybe due to roundoff errors).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure how to proceed with debugging (since I usually do it on my own computer which didn’t seem to encounter a bug) and would appreciate your advice. Thank you!<u></u><u></u></p>
