Dear Amir,

To me it looks like if the calculation has finished normally - the output ends with "JOB DONE.", a message

---<cut>---------------------------------------------------------
Maximum CPU time exceeded

max_seconds     =  350000.00
elapsed seconds =  361758.49
---</cut>--------------------------------------------------------

means that the calculation did not manage to finish in time for your calculation - no wonder, only four cores, 72 atoms and thus many phonon modes to be calculated, a relatively high cut-off energy etc. Why the output looks weird, with the "error message" at the beginning, is possibly because you redirect the stdout and stderr into the same file? The "STOP 1" is the normal exit code of QE/pw.x when running out of CPU time.

In principle the calculation could be restarted, but indeed, like you say, the calculation is probably slowed down because of insufficient memory and thus swapping. Are you able to switch to a larger computer?

    Greetings,

       apsi

Dear all Quantum Espresso users and developers,


I have been willing to do a phonon calculation on a zeolite but I have not
been successful. It gives me the following error in output file:

  Primary job  terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code.. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.
-------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus
causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

  Process name: [[46226,1],0]
  Exit code:    1

I think it has something to do with memory. I have attached both my input
and output files. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.
