Most common problem is use of the wrong version of blacs -- which the Intel link advisor will provide information about. I have very, very rarely seen anything beyond a wrong version of blacs. On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 6:27 PM, Gavin Abo wrote: > From the backtrace, it does look like it crashed i

From the backtrace, it does look like it crashed in libmpi.so.1, which I believe is an Open MPI library. I don't know if it will solve the problem or not, but I would try a different Open MPI version or recompile Open MPI (while tweaking the configuration options [ https://software.intel.com/e

a) Clearly, for a nanowire simulation the mpi-parallelization is best. Unfortunately, on some clusters mpi is not set-up properly, or users do not use the proper mkl-libraries for hthe particular mpi. Please use the Intel link-library advisor, as was mentioned in previous posts. The mkl-scalapac

Hi, Marks and Peter: Thank you for your suggestions. About your reply, I have several follow-up questions. Actually, I’m using a intermediate cluster in my university, which has 16 cores and 64 GB memory on standard nodes. The calculation I’m doing is k-point but not MPI parallelized. From the

I do not know many compounds, for which an RMT=1.2 bohr for H makes any sense (maybe LiH). Use setrmt and follow the suggestion. Usually, H spheres of CH or OH bonds should be less than 0.6 bohr. Experimental H-position are often very unreliable. How many k-points ? Often 1 k-point is enough f

A RKMAX (the RKM value in case.scf) of 2.05 is too small for a minimum RMT of 1.2, the results of the calculation will be very poor. I estimate that you need a value of at least 5, which will mean a much larger matrix size and a longer calculation. You need to use a more powerful computer or (bett
