<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am running some matrix computations on 64 nodes, using 6<span>40 MPI tasks. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span>And I wanted to check the memory usage with the <span>-memory_view</span> flag.</span></p>
<p>I get the following output: <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>Summary of Memory Usage in PETSc<br>
Maximum (over computational time) process memory: total 3.1056e+11 max 5.9918e+08 min 4.2213e+08<br>
Current process memory: total 1.9194e+11 max 3.9960e+08 min 2.2761e+08</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What is the difference between maximum process memory and current process memory?
<br>
What does total mean here? (in each node or total of all the nodes)<br>
</p>
<p>Also, if the job fails because of memory shortage, will this -memory_view still output some information?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you.<br>
