"Killed by signal 9" is the least informative error message you can get, 
meaning more or less "something very wrong happened". It often shows up 
when the  code runs out of memory. Hard to say more.

Note that 110 processors for a 9-atom cell are really a lot. Depending 
upon how you run the code, the parallelization  may be very inefficient
