My first two guesses are ulimit or numa. numactl --hardware will show your how many nodes your box has and if you're exhausting any of them.

Hello, I'm running postgres 9.6.10 on Centos 7. Seeing the occasional out
of memory error trying to run a query. In the logs I see something like
this:
Grand total: 462104832 bytes in 795 blocks; 142439136 free (819860 chunks);

2018-09-20 18:08:01 UTC xxxx 5ba3e1a2.7a8a dbname DETAIL: Failed on request

If I have 142439136 free, then why am I failing on a request of size 2016?
Am I misunderstanding here?
Thanks,
