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

Hi Yasheng,
can you add your full input script and specify how you run it? i.e. in parallel, which version of ATK, ...
thanks.
