The numbers above mean a 10-fold increase over the default, and should be enough.

xds_par in this case also might need an increase of the environment variable OMP_STACKSIZE (e.g. "setenv OMP_STACKSIZE 128M"). | |||
=== Problems with OpenMP === | |||
If the "xds_par" binary crashed, try "xds". xds_par uses OpenMP for parallelization, which adds complexity. If it works with xds, but not with xds_par, then there is a chance that some environment variable needs to be set/changed. In any case the XDS developers would like to learn about this. | |||

this means that unfortunately the CPU of your machine is too old to be supported by XDS. This may happen e.g. with old AMD CPUs that don't support SSE2 (on Linux check the ''flags'' field of /proc/cpuinfo for the presence of the sse2 flag). | this means that unfortunately the CPU of your machine is too old to be supported by XDS (which in this respect is compiled with the default options of the ifort compiler).

According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2#Notable_IA-32_CPUs_not_supporting_SSE2] the following CPUs implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was introduced (2001), but did not implement SSE2: | |||
