Cannot allocate memory

[mustapha elmliles]

Hello,

I am working on Quantum espresso 6.2.1 installed on linux ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit.
However, on running the program for epw calculation, after several minutes, I am getting the
following error on the terminal.

"Operating system error: Cannot allocate memory
Allocation would exceed memory limit".

Please suggest me a possible way to troubleshoot.

Hello,

You can use the following epw input variable:

etf_mem = 1

This will reduce your memory usage.
