[molpro-user] Memory in Parallel

[Alan Chien]

I had similar questions earlier in the year and found this helpful ->

It seems, according to the above link, that your job will run with 3
processes, each consuming 500Mw. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.

About your second question, I have no concrete answers. I know that certain
portions (as in programs, SCF, MULTI, MRCI, etc) of Molpro are parallelized
and some are not. Further, if my recollection is correct, some portions are
only parallelized for either OpenMP or MPI. I forget which is the one that
most of the parallel code is written for. You will have to speak to a
higher authority to determine the details.
