[Pw_forum] Memory distribution problem

[Peng Chen]

Dear Professor Giannozzi and Spiga,

I think it is memory, because the error message is like:
: 02/27/2014 14:06:20|  main|zeta27|W|job 221982 exceeds job hard limit
"h_vmem" of queue (2871259136.00000 > limit:2147483648.00000) - sending
SIGKILL

I normally used h_stak=128M, it is working fine.
