I was kind of curious about that myself, so I re-ran it with no spec file. Here's its ps output: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 9704 reid 20 0 1724M 892 704 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ./algencan That 1724M looks a little scary. (I have 4 GB here.) I don't speak fortran too well, but the code does seem to allocate some decently hefty amounts of memory, such as this: double precision nl(nmax),c(mmax),rho(mmax) where mmax is 500000. There must be others, too. Maybe you don't want to run this thing on your low memory machine...! reid -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
