Re: [Wien] ‘mixer’ crashes when forces too large

2013-05-29 Thread Elias Assmann

Dear Laurence and Peter,

Thank you for the suggestion of changing to TOT.  It appears to work (I 
say "appears" because after 2 iterations I hit the dreaded "QTL-B 
error", but still: progress!).

Anyway, I suggest that you resubmit with  runsp -I ...

This will switch in case.in2 from FOR to TOT and thus does not calculate
:FSU   (until the partial forces are converged and you get the converged
"total forces").

  * change scfana.f to formatted input,

  * change whatever writes this line to list-directed output, or even

  * emit an error when the forces are so large (?)


As I said, I changed the ‘scf’ file (essentially the second option above), then 
‘x mixer’ ran through.  However, the problem reappeared in the next iteration.

Re: [Wien] ‘mixer’ crashes when forces too large

2013-05-24 Thread Laurence Marks
In principle this is a bug in either mixer or sumpara - we did not expect
FSU to be so large. Unless you are using MSR1a you probably need to change
FOR to TOT at the top of case.in2. If you are using mini there is an option
to switch the forces off for the start of the next run; please check the UG.

If you are using MSR1a you may need to turn it off for some cycles to get a
better density, then do MSR1a again (removing broyd files as needed).

Last, but not least, you might have what I called "ghost forces". These are
due to (probably) something going wrong with the physical model or
linearization energies. Exactly what, I dont know.

[Wien] ‘mixer’ crashes when forces too large

2013-05-24 Thread Elias Assmann


I had a problem with a calculation that ran peacefully for a while,
but then crashed in ‘mixer’ with the error

   forrtl: severe (59): list-directed I/O syntax error, unit -5, file 
Internal List-Directed Read

Upon investigation, I found that the cause of the crash was a line

   :FSU033:  33.ATOM 120503.840520617-118793.163618910  -4395.235042983 
 19749.475095455


in the ‘scf’ file, which it had tried to read as [scfana.f:365]

   READ(MARGN(18:120),*)FHELP(1:4) !READ(MARGN,740) (FHELP(j),j=1,4)

(where ‘margn’ contains the whole line).

I do not attach a patch because I am not sure how this should be
fixed, e.g.

 * change scfana.f to formatted input,

 * change whatever writes this line to list-directed output, or even

 * emit an error when the forces are so large (?)

In this case I will simply change the line in the ‘scf’ and see how the
calculation goes on from there.
