Hi It was the oom killer so does that mean out of memory? How many processors would a slab calculation with 100-200 gold atoms typically need? I have tried a paw potential with 30 ecutwc and 910 ecutrho (a dal corso) and a rel-paw with 30 ecutwc and 400 ecutrho. I have also tried reducing ecutrho to 240 and the run still crashes. Thanks Vijaya
