[molpro-user] memory problems in UCCSD-F12

Dear Nino,
this is a rather large calculation and unfortunately requires a large amount of memory.
The error message is reasonable as the memory is not allocated at once.
Perhaps this is the second allocation of a 237MW array (300-237=63mw).

I have tested this input in my environment and with 1500mw per process I got the following error message

>  For minimal I/O algorithm in triples, increase memory by 210.05 Mwords to 1710.33 Mwords.
>  For full I/O caching in triples, increase memory by 2621.47 Mwords to 4121.75 Mwords.
>  A further 2.05 Mwords of memory are needed for the triples to run. Increase memory to 1502.33 Mwords.

Certainly with 1505mw, it at least went through the point it failed.

Hope this helps your customer. More might follow from experts of the CC codes.
Best wishes,
Toru
