[petsc-users] Meaning of Caught signal number 15 Terminate: Some process (or the batch system) has told this process to end

[Athena Paz]

Hi all,

I'm very new to PETSC. I'm trying to solve a diffusion problem in 3D. I
tried running a 500 x 500 x 500 grid using 20 processors but I encounter
the following error:

[0]PETSC ERROR:

  What does this mean? I am able to run the code successfully with a
300x300x300 grid size. I also tried using -malloc_debug and valgrind as
suggested in the Debugging FAQ for a small grid size and the code comes out
clean. Any help is much appreciated!


Thank you all for your time! Have a great day!
