Hi,

i have already compiled OpenFOAM on a decAlpha with tru64 and MPICH2.
Now, i get several errors, when i run e.g. simpleFoam on a Mesh with ~750000 cells.

The mpd process is started perfectly on every machine, when i run mpdtrace, then it shows the workstations.

If i decompose the mesh into 12 regions, then i get an error like this,

...
new cannot satisfy memory request, this ...

on ervery machine and i don't know why. Because of this i have to decompose in less regions; by the error at the beginning of the post i took 6 processors.

So, my questions are:

What do these errors mean?
How can i solve them, then i would like to take more than 6 processors. However it has to work with 6 ones first before i can switch up.

mfg,
Matthias
