You already explained on this forum the problem with memory that rises from a big active space. I just want to clarify some things.

I have a small molecule but a big active space - CASSCF(13,16).
Some information from the output file is shown below:

Wave function contains 35395360 CSF.

I understand that FF prints amount of memory per one core and amount i need really huge. But is it possible to decrease that number by increasing of the number of cores? Or may be we can play with parameters to overcome this problem. May be i can solve the problem with beta version of FF8. I will be appreciate for any help and suggestions.
