[ncl-talk] Why could Killed happen?

[Ian Harris (ENV - Staff)]

Hi,

I’m running a long and slightly cumbersome NCL script - with callouts to WRAPITted Fortran subs. It takes about 8 days to complete, as it’s reading a lot of high res gridded files (HARMONIE/V1 reanalysis), regridding them, and producing an aligned-with-CRU TS forcing dataset 1901-2018. It also sends each file via scp as it’s produced.

However, I’ve now had two instances of it just.. dying. The most recent was this morning (UK time):

Killed
[imac:~/WORKING/VERIFY] ianharris%

Now where does that 'Killed' come from? Is the system killing it? I see nothing in the system logs. I have plenty of RAM (double what I had the first time it Killed), so I can’t see it being that.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Cheers

Harry
PS Yes I’m sure it won’t happen with Python :)
