Dear Wien users,

The wien2k 18.2 I used is compiled in a share memory cluster with intel 
compiler 2019, mkl 2019 and impi 2019.  Because ‘srun' cannot get a correct 
parallel calculation in the system, I commented the line of "#setenv 
WIEN_MPIRUN "srun -K -N_nodes_ -n_NP_ -r_offset_ _PINNING_ _EXEC_” in the 
parallel_options file and used the second choice "mpirun='mpirun -np _NP_ 
_EXEC_”.

Parallel jobs go well in scf cycles. But when I increase k points (about 5000) 
to calculate DOS, the lapw1 crashed with the cgroup out-of-memory handler 
halfway. That is very strange. With same parameters, job runs well with single 
core.

The similar problem is encountered on nlvdw_mpi step. I also increase memory up 
to 50G for this less than 10 atoms cell, but it still didn’t work.

[Parallel job output:]

Some of your processes may have been killed by the cgroup out-of-memory handler.

Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance!
