A job I submitted made it to the queue, but failed due to a “bus error”. What is this error, why am I getting it, and what can I do about it?
A bus error is almost always related to a process requesting more memory than is available. In other words, the job ran out of memory. The simplest solution is to increase the requested memory for the job.
