Title: A puzzle of stop of ATK
Post by: yongjunwinwin on October 6, 2011, 08:29

When a calculation goes for a few hours, the windows report "vnl.exe stop working" and the related files are as follows:

  C:\Users\liyongjun\AppData\Local\Temp\WER375B.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
  C:\Users\liyongjun\AppData\Local\Temp\WER5289.tmp.appcompat.txt
  C:\Users\liyongjun\AppData\Local\Temp\WER54FA.tmp.mdmp

what's wrong with it? and is something related to my models? (the script is attached)

It's impossible to say what went wrong with VNL, maybe something spurious, maybe it ran out of memory...

Try running the calculation from the command line instead, as

Code

atkpython Id-Vg-0.py > Id-Vg-0.log

Try running the same calculation with 11.8.b1. I'm quite certain the reason is you have run out of memory, but in 11.8 we have optimized the memory usage of the multigrid method, and I hope it will work better. You can use 11.8.b1 with your 11.2 license, while for the official release of 11.8 you will need to have the 11.8 (or higher) feature in the license file.
