Hi, On the command ierr = DACreateLocalVector(da,g); CHKERRQ(ierr); I get the error [0]PETSC ERROR: PetscMallocAlign() line 61 in src/sys/memory/mal.c Memory requested 6050600 [0]PETSC ERROR: PETSC: Attaching gdb to Debug/MultiFlow of pid 19087 on display :0.0 on machine tfdpc102 What does it mean exactly? Out of memory? Thanks, Berend.
