Hi,
I have started to get a strange problem all of a sudden. My machine suddenly shut down due to problem with its powersupply. after that when I restarted the machine and run VASP in parallel somehow when I include the
ENCUT tag it gives me following error
----------------------------------------------------------
One of the processes started by mpirun has exited with a nonzero exit
code. This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
If your process did not finish in error, be sure to include a "return
0" or "exit(0)" in your C code before exiting the application.

PID 4644 failed on node n0 (127.0.0.1) due to signal 11.
--------------------------------------------------------
If I comment this tag then everything works well. Earlier there was no problem in using this tag in parallel also.

any suggestions?

strange... if you had been able to run that job with exactly the same ENCUT (PREC,k-points,...) without problems before, the signal 11 kill most probably is NOT caused by memory problems. I hope that your machines are not damaged by the powersupply problems. Please try to repeat a job which was finished before the shutdown.
please also do the following:
1) check which parallel node was chosen as node0 for your run
2) re-submit your job, avoiding that that node (node0) is used again and / or check if small test runs can be done on that node without memory problems
