Dear colleagues,

I try to run the large system with 64 atoms on abinit-5.7.4.

However the following error ocurred, though there are 24GB memory.

I found the similar problems posted already.

[abinit-forum] Out of memory error in GW screening calculation.
[abinit-forum] How increase of limit memory?
[abinit-forum] memana error
[abinit-forum] memana's memory needs not met?

In the 4th one, the parameter mkmem beeing 0 solved the error,
but no respons about the "increase of memory limit" yet.

How to increase the limit of memory?
Is there the parameter to control the memory limitation?

I want to know the meaning of the error message.
If the solution (mkmem = 0) is true, this message is thought to be 
NOT suitable, isn't it?

==================================================================
memana : ERROR -
  Test failed to allocate    5060.225 Mbytes
  It is not worth to continue
  Action : modify input variable to fit the available memory.
  or increase limit on available memory.
