CCSD(T) createfile: failed ga create size=*********

Clicked A Few Times	4:00:07 AM PDT - Tue, Jun 23rd 2015 Hi guys, I am trying to run a CCSD(T) calculation on a Mo complex, however, I get the infamous createfile: failed ga_create size=********* error. I have read many posts related to this but did not manage to get this one fixed. My output file is shown below. Thank you, any advice is highly appreciated. gncs

How many nodes are you trying to run across? I don't have enough RAM to run it to completion but I get to "createfile: failed ga_create size/nproc bytes 27656265208". It needs to allocate ~27 GB but only has ~6 GB available in GA memory. It seems like you need to run this across at least 5 nodes, possibly more, to fit everything in memory with the memory settings you have supplied. I don't know why you are seeing asterisks instead of numbers with your ga_create failure, but you might consider upgrading to a newer NWChem. 6.1 was released in 2011.

With the heap, stack, global settings I currently have, this should add up to 8 * 6 GB = 48 GB GA memory, right? Further, I will try to update to the latest version of NWChem. Thank you for your help!
