Hi John,

Hi John,

We recommend setting it to unlocked, but it is dependent on your application.  You very likely have a hard limit set somewhere on your system, a standard user cannot go higher than the hard limit.  If you can't get the memory limit higher, let's try a different approach.  There is a basic test program included with the Intel® MPI Library.  It is in the test/ subfolder of the installation.  Compile any one of the source files present, and try running that program.  The memory usage is extremely low (simply a Hello World program), and it should run with a lower memory limit.

Sincerely,
