Dear Alex Durie,

Thanks. I will try it.

主题: Re: [QE-users] Huge RAM required for HSE calculation



I would be tempted to try the flag
disk_io = 'medium'
if the RAM usage is still too large, try
disk_io = 'high'
in namelist &CONTROL

Hope that helps,

Dear federico,

The error message is

error: Exceeded job memory limit
error: Step 5242.0 exceeded memory limit (130943908 > 128000000), being killed

If reduce the number of Kpoint, the calculated Band structure will be not 
smooth enough.

Thanks

??: Re: [QE-users] Huge RAM required for HSE calculation

Hi.

Which is the output error message you get?


I am not too expert with HSE in QE, but I suppose the kpoints number is quite 
large.
Maybe try to reduce the number of kpoints to see if u reproduce the REM error.
Start with a small kpoint mesh and try to increase it gradually until reaching 
convergence, I would say.

HTH
With the best
federico

Dear QE users,

Recently, I want to calculate the band structure by HSE method. However, the 
calculation will stop because huge RAM require. From the output file we know 
that:

     Estimated static dynamical RAM per process >       8.46 GB

     Estimated max dynamical RAM per process >       8.59 GB

     Estimated total dynamical RAM >    1099.85 GB

I think 1099.85 GB RAM is so huge that it is not reasonable to afford.

BTW, our server is 2 nodes, 128 threads? 256G RAM. The QE version is 6.3.

And my input file is
