Error running Masurca in the background: how to rectify memory allocation error

Question

[VBer]

I tried running MaSuRCA for a genome of size 1.278 gbp using the following command:

 nohup bash assemble.sh &

To make sure that the process runs even after the terminal closes. However I am getting the following error:

 [Fri Mar 22 12:19:13 IST 2019] Processing pe library reads

 what():  Can't allocate memory for atomic_bits_array

 [Fri Mar 22 12:57:09 IST 2019] Error correction of PE reads failed. Check pe.cor.log.

I understand that there seems to be some problem with allocating memory. My JF hash size is 10*genome and that ran perfectly fine without using the nohup and & commands, ie., when the process was not running in the background.

I want to know how to rectify this error. Thank you.
