[cam-users] virtual memory

[Alexander Sen Gupta]

Hi,
Im a new CCM user in need of some help. Im trying to compile the coupled
model on an alpha server. After some minor tweaking compilation proceeds
through the various components (in a few 10s of seconds), but on reaching
the ocean component, the virtual memory requirement starts creeping up.
After about an hour the compliation crashes with the message:
Fatal:  Virtual address space exceeded.
gmake: *** [initial.o] Error 1

The virtual memory requirement is in excess of 2GB!
Is this memory requirement normal? If not, any ideas what might be causing
the build up?

Thanks for any help.
Alex
