Hi :
my system only contains 4 C atoms.
and i want to do a G0W0 calculation. according to the mamual of VASP at
http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp/vasp/R ... tions.html
i split the DFT calculation into two steps. But at the second DFT calculation (HERE the XC FUNCTIONAL is VDW-FUNCTIONAL).the code reports
insufficient virtual memory

My conpute node has 98994016k MEM, so what is wrong with it ?

I would suggest to decrease the k-mesh
