<p>It is exactly what it says. You are trying to run more tasks on a single cpu than you have memory for. The idea of mpi is to share cpu and memory. If you have a cpu with 24 cores (unlikely) you might run (for instance) 3 tasks each using 8 cores, e.g. with three lines of node:8. </p>

<p>You probably only have 8 cores, so for a large job you might use node:8</p>
<p>Please do a little google searching on the principles of mpi, much better than any email response.</p>
