[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21082] Re: GW BSE calculation test - CPASSERT mp2 error ?

After some testing, I still have trouble when using a supercell of my 
system rather than a fully periodic system.
After a normal startup and scf cycle, the calculation suddenly stops 
without any error, right after stating the amount of memory needed.
I first thought it was because not enough memory was available on the 
machines I am using, so I reduced the size of the supercell and the basis 
set, however, the same issue happened (and I am also pretty sure that I 
have enough computational capacities for that).
I am attaching my inputs and outputs here, I am not sure what is going 
wrong here.

Thanks in advance for your help,
best regards,
Maxime
