 Dear Wien Users,

I am doing a calculation with 3 atoms in a large cell (15*15*20 Angstrom^3)
in parallel mode.
After 13 cyles, the system crashed with the following error:

After some hours from this crash, the system looks busy:
Memory used 881404k from 1032328
Swap used 72268k from 1839400k.
It seems this problem is different from that one explained in FAQ for large
cells.
I searched also in the mailing list and found a similar problem asked by
Giovanni Bertoni; but, did not find any answer.
Any comment is highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Mahmoud Payami
