Hey everybody,

I have a huge problem with a project involving a numerical calculation in Mathematica 10.3 (but this problem is reproducible in all versions from 9.0 up to 10.3 that I could find on my machine). For the calculation I solve differential equations numerically for randomly chosen starting values. I do this for 10^5 samples and the estimated total running time of the simulation is ~2 days. The whole thing happens in a screen terminal, using "math -script <filename>". My problem is now that after a few hours (sometimes even after minutes) the kernel dies, without any error message. When I use subkernels to parallelize the whole thing, I only get messages that one of the kernel "appears to be dead". When I use a single thread it will just close the math kernel without further notice. Does anybody know where I might be able to find at least a reason why the kernels die? Some hidden log file maybe that I haven't found yet? Any help is appreciated, especially since Wolfram support is not answering my emails for some reason and this is affecting an important project.

Kindly, Matthias
