Hi,

I am running a Julia script in my terminal and at some point it gets killed `zsh: killed julia`

Is there a way to get more info as to why it got killed?

Thank you!

This almost always means that you ran out of memory.

If it is the Out Of Memory killer, `dmesg` (on linux) would have a mention of it in the log.
