Hi al, I have installed Dealii 9.4.2 using "spack install dealii" on Ubuntu 20.04 inside WSL. When I try to mpirun step-17 and step-18 I either encounter an error message (attached at the end) when the number of cores is more than two or for two cores the memory consumption is huge. In my case, the entire 48 gb of my laptop is getting used.
>From the online discussions, I gather this is because of METIS installation. How do I fix it?
