the pair program and I-TASSER program run

I am having issues with the runI-TASSER.pl and, therefore, I ran the steps one by one. I figured out that the pair files were not getting created.

I tried to run the pair program separately but the program is getting "killed" by the system. This means that the pair program is either utilizing excessive memory resources or it is coded really bad. The worst part is pair program is an executable file and no details of the program is given.
Also, whatever executable is run, none of them generate a log file to understand what is going on.

Below is what I ran and is the log:

[rzb12@lionxc ITGSU0518]$ ./pair /gpfs/home/rzb12/work/I-TASSER2.1/
30000 6379375 total lib str & residues
Killed
[rzb12@lionxc ITGSU0518]$

It is clearly not a memory issue with the computer on which I am running this program. Below summarizes enough memory available.

[rzb12@lionxc ITGSU0518]$ free -m

Also, below are the full details of the computer:

[rzb12@lionxc ITGSU0518]$

Why would the program run on the entire directory /gpfs/home/rzb12/work/I-TASSER2.1/? Should it not run on specific files? Moreover, apart from this directory being passed as the parameter to this program, it is using the files in the local tmp directory such as matrix1.comm, matrix3.comm, blosum.comm, LIST.target etc.

What I am looking for the support team is fix so that the program can be run successfully and also, if possible, the reference paper to what this pair program is doing.
