Hello Bijaya,

"Killed by signal 9" means that your process was killed with SIGKILL 
signal. For the record, this can be done manually by issuing command `kill 
-9 <pid>` by user that started the process, or by system administrator 
(e.g., via root login, sudo, etc.). However, in your case it's most likely 
caused by operating system itself, specifically oom-killer (out of memory 
condition causes Linux to kill processes which it considers the most "bad" 
at the moment in terms of their "oom score"). Please check `dmesg` output, 
it's very likely to indicate what exactly happened to your cp2k process.
