Hi,

I am working with a ~800 electron system and the memory requirement seems to be > 1 TB, much higher than that of the scf calculation itself (~130 GB). Is this expected?

yes

Are there ways to reduce the memory requirement?
yes, but it requires a lot of programming

I am running open_grid.x using mpirun: mpirun -np ncores open_grid.x -i opengrid.in > opengrid.out
cheers

with ~4 GB/core memory.

Thanks,
Zeeshan
