I ran a parallel job with 2 nodes. "The job failed with Fork() failed. Not enough space". I checked the scratch disk for any space issues, but there was enough space.
However, when I ran the same job with 1 node it completed successfully but with a longer time.
Not sure how the change to single node config file resulted in success.
I ran the job again with 2 nodes and lo and behold it failed again with fork() failed and changing to single node file again resulted in success.
Can anybody throw light as to why a lesser config file is better than a higher node config file in certain circumstances?
