Also make sure you are freeing unused communicators. -- Pavan On 07/08/2013 08:14 AM, Wesley Bland wrote:
It seems that you're creating more communicators than MPICH can handle. It's possible that you might be able to get around this by setting the environment variable MPIR_PARAM_CTXID_EAGER_SIZE to something smaller than its default (which is 2). That frees up a few more communicators, but there is a pathological case where even with fewer communicators than the max, MPICH won't be able to agree on a new communicator id when needed. Try changing that environment variable and see if that fixes things.

Hi all, I am using mpich-3.0.4 on Mac os x version 10.7.5 to run FLASH code. It works fine in the beginning of the run and then I got the following error:

Is there a way to fix that ?
