possible memory leak in BSE?
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2019 7:21 am
Dear all,
I am curious if I am encountering a memory leak in BSE. My calculation only has two atoms/16 electrons per unit cell but when doing a BSE calculation even at low values for BSEbands etc. yambo on a single core will simply eat up all the available memory and then terminate. I would expect this calculation to take much less than 200 GB
I already reduced the Gvectors to half of the original number and the block size to 1 Ry (GW converges at around 6 Ry for NGsBlkXs)
I am a bit lost what might cause this memory consumption...
Thank you for your help!
Chris
