MPI exit code 9 means that the program recieved the SIGKILL event, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/mpi-developer-guide-linux/top/troubleshooting/error-message-bad-termination.html. This means that the process was killed by an outside process like the job scheduler or the OS. The reason is typically that the program used more memory than it was allowed or that a runtime limit was exceeded. Be sure to submit the job in way so that the job scheduler sends you an email when it aborts the program. Such an email will typically state the reason for why the job was killed.
