I am running COMSOL (a scientific software) as a server, to which MATLAB is connected to. After a while, COMSOL aborted with the following error message. [s@beads ~]$ comsol server -comsolinifile $HOME/comsolini/comsolbatch.ini Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. [s@beads ~]$ comsol server -comsolinifile $HOME/comsolini/comsolserver.ini COMSOL 4.4 (Build: 150) started listening on port 2036 Use the console command 'close' to exit the program A client with username 's' has logged on to the server from 'beads.myuniversity.edu' using port 2036. /software/linux/x86_64/comsol-4.4/bin/comsol: line 1436: 32757 Aborted (core dumped) ${TOMCAT_START} What might be the cause of this (core dumped) ${TOMCAT_START}? How may I fix it?
