[FLASH-USERS] FLASH memory usage: Static, Dynamic and Machine Specific

Dear FLASH users,

I have been FLASH for some time now with two publications and some in line.
But, I have little knowledge about how FLASH uses different memory
components on a given machine.
I have used a tool called "Remora" on the Stampede which gives me a rough
idea but, I'm looking for a systematic description on this issue.

More specifically, I'm having problem in using multipole Gravity solver
which causes memory allocation failure during initialization and also
evolution. I couldn't get far with my naive knowledge of FLASH's usage of
'-maxblocks'.

I'll appreciate if anyone could suggest some tools and methods which I can
use to investigate the machine and optimize my setup accordingly.
Thank you,


Best,
