Running the ASPECT model

ASPECT
1

Hello all,

To learn the effect of inhomogeneity of the upper mantle on seismic activity, I found the relevant model code on git_hub from
(ceus_seismicity/Heterogeneous_model.prm at master · alarshi/ceus_seismicity · GitHub).
When I execute the code inside ASPECT, it does not run successfully. And it shows the following content:
Number of active cells: 64,000 (on 2 levels)
Number of degrees of freedom: 2,249,535 (1,633,023+72,171+544,341)

Number of mesh deformation degrees of freedom: 216513
*** Timestep 0: t=0 years
Solving mesh velocity system… 0 iterations.
Solving temperature system… 0 iterations.
Rebuilding Stokes preconditioner…--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that process rank 1 with PID 0 on node dealvm exited on signal 9 (Killed).

So，I want to know what causes this and how I can fix it.

Hang Wu:
you almost certainly do not have enough memory in the virtual machine to run Arushi’s model. You will want to run these on clusters of machines with a dozen or more cores available to MPI.
