[Gate-users] Simulations terminate after a few hours with cryptic errors

Dear all,

I’m facing some cryptic error messages in my GATE simulations. I always get some after the macro ends, but still get the desired result. So I’ve just ignored it. It  normally looks like this:

But currently I’m facing the problem that my simulation run perfectly fine until it terminates after 91s (7 hours in real time) of 300s with the following error message and I don’t get a result. I also don’t know why its starting again to print the table of registered couples. For these simulations I’m using a 23MBq mono energetic 140keV gamma source.

I’m using the opengatecollaboration/gate:latest docker image and it runs on a Polyaxon cluster. Is this a GATE problem and does anybody know how to solve it?

Kind regards,
Korbinian
