Some actions in cpptraj require large amounts of memory (e.g.
dihedralcluster and 2drms, I think), since they have to store all
coordinates that are read in. I think hbond also requires a large amount
of memory.
For the most part, though, the memory usage is fairly modest, since all
that has to be stored at any given point is just a single set of
coordinates, all of the data in the topology file, and all of the data you
plan to write out at the end of the run.
However, it depends on what you mean by 'large memory' -- for a big
topology file, you have a lot of data that needs to be stored from the HPC,
and each frame is fairly large.

Request more memory, or analyze fewer frames at a time. Or, in the case of
hbond analysis, use a smaller list of acceptors and donors.

The lack of carriage returns makes this input file too difficult to parse.
Please try and make sure that carriage returns show up in your emails to
make it easier for us to help.
