Hello everyone,

Using Quantum espresso , I tried for Na3Bi calculations using Full relativistic Pseudopotential but everytime  Iam getting error as "Unable to allocate memory" . I used every trick like reducing mixing_ndim, diagonalization=cg. but still Iam getting the same.

For Na: suggested ecut and rho are 66, 323 and for Bi is 45 and 456.

So to avoid this error I used lower ecut values as 30 and 300 for Na3Bi but still Iam getting the same error.

This is the input file
