Error: insufficient virtual memory

I am building a computing environment on a Rocks cluster (3.3.0) with Intel compiler (icc and ifort ver. 9.1) and mpi lib (ver. 3.0). It runs well with the test codes which come with the Intel mpi and mpich2. However, when I submit my code (a gasdynamics solver), the program run well for a while and then it breaks with the following error message:

forrtl: severe (41): insufficient virtual memory

I already set virtual memory to be unlimited. Any suggestion?

Thanks.

It looks like the appliaction ate whole memory on the compute node. Did you saw the "out of memory" messages in the system logs?
