Title: APPLICATION TERMINATED WITH THE EXIT STRING: Killed (signal 9)
Post by: yasheng on August 5, 2016, 17:19

Dear all,

One of my device calculation stopped with the error 'APPLICATION TERMINATED WITH THE EXIT STRING: Killed (signal 9)'.

It was ok until calculating density matrix. I don't have any information why this happened.

here is the last few lines of the OUTPUT file
