How are the arrays allocated - at compile-time, dynamically with ALLOCATE or as automatic arrays? Sound like the usual problem of large arrays being allocated on a stack that's too small.


The program is in Fortran77, the arrays are allocated as follows: Main program reads data size from parameter file and passes the dimensions to the computational routine at the top of which arrays with the corresponding dimensions are allocated - is this "compile time" ? How do I check where the program crashes - it seems to be very early on, before/during the reading of the in-data ...


Also, one particular thing that struck me is that I store a bunch of arrays in unformatted, sequential: by liberally doing a write(1,*)

But the * indicates a list-directed write, which is a case of a FORMATTED
write! You want just a write (1) ...


Yeah, that was a typo - I use write(1) and the file size is so bloated, any ideas why?
