Hi Molpro users/developers!
I'm trying to run a harmonic frequency calculation using the CCSD(T)-F12c/cc-pVDZ-F12 model chemistry for pyrazine (C4H4N2) but I'm getting the following error:

" Insufficient memory for f12_gij. Need:   26.0 MW. Have   21.2 MW
  ? Error
  ? Insufficient memory
  ? The problem occurs in lmp2_f12_drv

 GLOBAL ERROR fehler on processor   0"

This is the input file that I'm using:

"memory,180,g 

***, c-C4H4N2_1 harmonic frequencies

basis=cc-pVDZ-F12

orient,mass

geomtyp=xyz

symm=auto

}

I haven't been able to figure out how to solve this problem. I'm running this calculation on a cluster requesting the following features:

NCPUS: 8

Memory: 245GB

JobFS Memory: 245GB

Does anyone has some insight into how can I solve this problem?

Thanks!


Cheers,

Juan

Juan,

 

I guess the obvious is to increase the amount of memory you're requesting on the memory card.  You're currently asking for 180 gb, so maybe try 200 ?

memory,180 g means 180 Gigawords (in the current molpro version), which is 1440 GB. Very likely this is much more than you physically have. If you cluster shows 245GB and you have 8 processes it means you can use about 3.5 GW per process (see https://www.molpro.net/manual/doku.php?id=running_molpro_on_parallel_computers). I think your calculation should not need that much (but I am not sure how much F12c needs). So it’s best to remove the memory card from the input and use, e.g.

molpro -m2g input

If F12c needs too much try F12b.

Best wishes
Joachim

Hi everyone!

Using -m2g in the submission file fixed the problem. Thanks so much!

Cheers,
Juan
