MaxDisk

DESCRIPTION

The MaxDisk keyword specifies the amount of disk storage available for scratch data, in 8-byte words (default); this value may also be followed by KB, MB, GB, KW, MW or GW (without intervening spaces) to specify units of kilo-, mega- or giga- bytes or words. Normally, this is set for a site in the site-wide Default.Route file.

Not all calculations can dynamically control their disk usage, so the effects of this keyword vary:

See Efficiency Considerations for a detailed discussion of the efficient use of disk resources in Gaussian calculations.
