A std::bad_alloc indicates a memory problem, not necessarily a problem with your NEST installation. Try increasing your number of compute nodes or decreasing your network to see if this solves your problem.

I have installed NEST on Piz Daint and sometimes have problems with make installcheck on the machine. NEST is usually still installed correctly, and my simulations runs as they should.

Emne: [NEST Users] Nest compile on Piz-Daint

Dear NEST Users,

I'm trying to get NEST up and running on Piz-Daint.

I could manage to have it fully compiled and installed with python bindings, MPI, GSL and Boost.

However, simulations start but get killed returning a std::bad_alloc.

make installcheck also fails.

Did anyone managed to have it installed on this HPC?

Best regards,
