Dear Mateusz,
I guess you are using the dmrg application in ALPS, right?
If you have a recent ALPS version you may try the MPS applications, i.e. running exactly the same parameters with the application 'mps_optim'. More details here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.0872
If the MPS application exceeds memory you can dump some temporary objects to disk by setting the parameter "storagedir".
Best regards, Michele

Dear All, I have been running the following input:

I have observed that for Bose-Hubbard model on chain of length L=256, unit filled, under open boundary conditions the DMRG code uses over 32G memory (this is the hardware limit, it clearly wants more, for L=128 it was around 20G). is that normal? I would estimate that an MPS state of 256 sites, with bond dimension 60, local Hilbert space 7 should be much smaller (even if we allow for a small constant factor for temporary data)
Kind Regards, Mateusz Łącki
