[CP2K:1712] Re: ERRORL2 in cp_fm_types:cp_fm_create processor

Carlo,

keep in mind that on the cray 100-150 MB (per core) are used as 
IO-buffer for lustre.
Moreover, the error you reported is clearly an error connected to an 
allocation failures.
The only way you can manage that is to try what Axel suggested:
Run in SingleNode (-SN option with yod).
In this case you should really have enough memory and don't observe the 
crash.
