Dear Neelam

Other than this, it would be useful if you could also show the in/output files of your system. While it does not seem large the memory usage depends on the atoms/pseudopotentials you are using, size of the vacuum (if any).

Dear Neelam,
I am by no means an expert, but from my limited experience I can say that 4GB of RAM is not a lot, to put it mildly - but at the same time, your system isn't large. In this case, I wouldn't use any parallelization on k-points (pw.x -npool 1) and make use of symmetry as much as possible (correct ibrav instead of ibrav=0). You can save memory by reducing ecutwfc (at the expense of accuracy) - so try choosing pseudopotentials which give you desired accuracy at the lowest ecutwfc (use https://www.materialscloud.org/discover/sssp to guide you).
Best,

    Dear expert and all

    I am making the supercell of 2x1x1 total 24 no of atoms, and
    perform scf calculation .but there is memory related problem
    currently i am using 4gb RAM.

    What can i do to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance
    Neelam
