Psi4 job stops automatically

Hi there, I have been trying to run Psi4 for the following input file. For other systems, the job succeeded, not for this.

I have installed Psi4 from miniconda. The first few lines of the output are,

In my guess, the SCF calculation is performed properly, but not the CCSD. The last few lines are,

I was monitoring the output by tail -f, at the last line, it stopped for wuite sometime. Upon pressing ctrl-c, I get this,

[1]+  Killed                  psi4 ethane.in

But I didn’t killed any job.
Any help is appreciated.

My best guess is insufficient memory.

Well @jmisiewicz , you are expert on that. I was thinking that there might be some other issue, so I ran the same in other system (laptop). The job was performed well. The versions of psi4 differs. Please have a look if there are other bugs etc, since amount of memory is same. Let me share my output.

The versions of psi4 differs. Please have a look if there are other bugs etc, since amount of memory is same.

I need to know what kinds of computers you ran these on, and full output files.

okay, uploading data…
