hi all

i am doing a surface calculation which involves 125 atoms in the supercell. I am able to run scf run and calculate density of states. But when I tried to calculate bandstructure the EIGENVAL file is not written. The INCAR file is

NWRITE = 2
ISTART = 1
ICHARG = 11
ENCUT = 300
IALGO = 48
ISMEAR = 0 ; SIGMA = 0.1
NPAR = 1
LPLANE = .TRUE.
LREAL = Auto
NBANDS = 410

the error message displayed is

If somebody knows then please reply

Thanks in advance

sorry for this stupid question


actually i was not able to run my job properly


sorry once more

Dear neo,
It is really hard to tell. It seems to me like a memory issue. Could you please also post your KPOINTS file? Maybe it is not necessary, I believe you must have done the right thing in KPOINTS. Could you please increase the number of the CPU that you use? If this still persists, we may look for other options.

Thanks for your help

when i rerun my job things were fine.
