To all,

 

    I'm running abinit at the Maui Supercomputer center and having problems allocating more than 256MB of memory even though I'm specifying the memory requirement in the batch submission file under loadleveler.  Do I have to re-compile with a certain option?  The computer is an IBM SP system running AIX. I'm including excerpts from the loadleveler file below as well as from my makefile_macros file.

 

Sincerely,

Jim Raynolds
