Hi Kamlesh,

I think this type of issue is probably more appropriate to the q4md-
fft mailing list, but provided you have enough memory on your machine,
just increase the MWORDS parameter in either RED-vIII.4.pl directly or
modify the GAMESS input script. By default it is set to "MWORDS=32",
but depending on how many CPU cores you're using (and how much RAM you
have), you can usually set it to "MWORDS=128" without any trouble. It
looks like in your calculation that you're only using 1 core, in which
case you can probably set it even higher...

Best,

Paul
