[petsc-users] Error - Out of memory. This could be due to allocating too large an object or bleeding by not properly destroying unneeded objects.

This error came with a matrix approximate 300,000*300,000, and I was
solving a 3D model.
" the memory requirements for LU are N log(N) in 2D and N^4/3 in 3D. " What
unit is it? Byte?
