-The open() system call failed with the EMFILE error code (too many files). \n\n\
-This means that you reached the system limits concerning the amount of files per process. \
-This is not a surprise if you are trying to virtualize many processes on top of SMPI. \
-Don't panic -- you should simply increase your system limits and try again. \n\n\
-First, check what your limits are:\n\
- cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max # Gives you the system-wide limit\n\
- ulimit -Hn # Gives you the per process hard limit\n\
- ulimit -Sn # Gives you the per process soft limit\n\
- cat /proc/self/limits # Displays any per-process limitation (including the one given above)\n\n\
-If one of these values is less than the amount of MPI processes that you try to run, then you got the explanation of this error. \
-Ask the Internet about tutorials on how to increase the files limit such as: https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/increase-open-files-limit/",
