Uhf ccsd(t) optimization

Hi,

I am trying to optimize a radical using uhf ccsd(t) (since the gradients are available) but my calculation stops after three cycles or less. It usually gets stuck at ‘Computing (T) contributions to CC density…’ I tried using cachelevel 0 and print 2 but it is not enough.
I would appreciate any suggestions on to run these types of jobs.

Thanks!

Could you provide the input file that you are using?

Yes, it looks like this:

Thanks for the input. It seems your scratch directory is getting full because of which you are getting a psio write error. If you have not set your PSI_SCRATCH variable, psi4 writes all the scratch files to the /tmp folder which might not be big enough for these kind of calculations. I suggest setting your PSI_SCRATCH variable appropriately.
