[Mesa-users] MESA installation EOS test fail

Tue Mar 23 17:30:41 UTC 2021

Alright, it is not a major inconvenience at the moment so I'll keep it at 6. If I do experiment, will let the outcome be known on this thread.
Thank you again!

Sincerely

Hi Yash,

Well, you can always *try* decreasing the RAM and see if MESA stops with a similar error message, right?  MESA's RAM usage will depend on what sort of star you're modelling but I would leave it at 6GB if you can.  I don't know if others can comment but I personally haven't watched MESA's RAM usage closely.

Cheers,
Warrick
