Dear All,<br>I have a problem and I really really appreciate if anybody could help me.<br>I downloaded QE in two machines:<br>intel (R) pentium (R) 4 cpu 3 GHz with total memory 2GB, and<br>intel (R) core (TM) i7 cpu 870 @2.93 GHz, with 4GB total memory.<br>
everything is working perfectly well with the first machine (with
espresso-4.1.2), but dos.x and pp.x both crash with "out of memory/
memory allocation" error in the second machine for big structures
(espresso-4.2.1 and espresso-4.2). It should be noted that pw.x works properly and the "memory allocation" error happens just for dos and post processing.<br>
I downloaded ATLAS and modified "make.sys" accordingly but it didn't
help. I used "ulimit -s unlimited" command, it didn't help either.<br>I have been sending emails for months to all the QE email address, but nobody sent a reply yet, although I subscribed for the forum.<br>
I would be thankful if anyone of you could help me in this regard.<br>
Thanks a lot.<br><font color="#888888">Pari Shok,<br>PhD candidate <br>UMD <br></font>
