[Mesa-users] Unexpected process abort signal

[Evan Bauer]

Hi Kaili,

It's likely that you are running out of memory with mesh_delta_coeff = 0.1. Have you tried profiling your machine's memory usage during the run?

Cheers,
Evan

I customized a few things, including history and profile columns, nuclear network, opacity tables, and mixing length, none of which is expected to prevent MESA from yielding results. I also truncated the simulations on the red giant branch.

My simulations with mesh_delta_coeff = 1.0, 0.5, and 0.2 completed successfully; however, the one with mesh_delta_coeff = 0.1 failed because of an unexpected process abort signal. An abbreviated version of the terminal output is attached to this email.
