As in the OUTCAR file the final timing information is shown as

total amount of memory used by VASP on root node 76377. kBytes
========================================================================

base : 30000. kBytes
nonl-proj : 18952. kBytes
fftplans : 2560. kBytes
grid : 9713. kBytes
one-center: 544. kBytes
wavefun : 14608. kBytes



General timing and accounting informations for this job:
========================================================

Total CPU time used (sec): 14682.903
User time (sec): 14654.713
System time (sec): 28.190
Elapsed time (sec): 14767.102

Maximum memory used (kb): 0.
Average memory used (kb): 0.

Minor page faults: 24789
Major page faults: 171
Voluntary context switches: 27415

it says " total amount of memory used by VASP on root node 76377. kBytes". but "Maximum memory used (kb) 0.", and "Average memory used (kb) 0.". These looks contradicting. I also doubt about the value "76377. kBytes" because it looks too small to me.
So does VASP estimated the used memory correctly or not?

Thanks a lot!
