Dear Raghavendra,

I see. The code will use as much RAM as it needs, if that is more that the physical RAM it’ll start to swap and that’s usually bad.

One option to accellerate electron dynamics runs is to compile the code with OpenMP enables and the set the proper environment variables OPM_NUM_THREADS, and MKL_NUM_THREADS to the number of PHYSICAL cores.

Without more specifics, that’s all that comes to mind.

Best,

C.
