Lancaster group ORCA jobs' some features (like TDDFT) require more memory (For example, with PAL8, Memory needs 35304 MB) . To avoid crashing problem, Users need reduce number parallel cores on nodes with less memory. Please see the attached table for the memory size of each node. kml005, kml006, kml009, kml010 have more memories.
