magma_dmalloc_cpu & a large matrix (>50000*50000)

[Aran Nokan]

Hi,

I am trying to allocate a matrix with "TESTING_CHECK( magma_dmalloc_cpu( &h_A,  M*N     ));" but I am seeing this error:

Error: magma_dmalloc_cpu( &h_A, M*N )

error -112: cannot allocate memory on CPU host

I have lots of memory space (at least 4 times more than what magma_dmalloc_cpu needs). What is the problem?

For a 50K matrix it should allocate ~20GB space, but I have more than 100GB.

ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
