Dear abinit users,

I am facing a memory problem in response function calculations, I tried to use memory variables such as mkmem and mkqmem but still facing the problem

"insufficient virtual memory"

First of all I want to know what is meant by an out-of-core solution mentioned in mkmem page,and does mkmem alter the quality of calculations.

second, the log file tells that each dataset in my calculations needs about 3Gbytes of memory,I have 52 datasets, if I had 200Gbytes hard disk, would that solve the memory problem.

Thanks in advance,

Hanan
