Error in SAM format

I trying to create alignment in the SAM format by using the following command

bwa samse genome.fa Seq1.bwa Seq1.fastq > Seq1_se.sam

After 5min I got the following error message

[bwa_aln_core] convert to sequence coordinate... Killed
sam aln bwa samse

how much memory do you have on your machine ?

I have 8GB of memory.

and available 2.98 GB

That is likely not enough. What genome are you working with?

human genome

I am afraid you may be able to use bwa as long as nothing else was running. Otherwise you may want to try subread. Most other aligners are not going to work.

Thank you
