Re^6: memory allocation for CASSCF

Alexandra Tsybizova

Dear Dr. Granovsky,
I was running the job on a single node with 12 CPU cores.
There are currently 3 versions of MPI implementations installed on our cluster (openmpi-1.10-x86_64; openmpi-1.8-x86_64;  openmpi-x86_64), however I was not able to figure out, which one of them is being used for running the Firefly jobs.
There is 64 Gb of physical memory on the cluster.

Best regards,
Alexandra
