Dear all, I have been facing issues with a phonon calculation in the gamma point on a 10x10 graphene supercell for two weeks now and am running out of ideas. For varioys reasons, I am obliged to run a phonon calculation in the gamma point on this large 10x10 supercell. I compiled quantum espresso version 6.3 on a crayXC40 machine and both the pw.x and ph.x executables work perfectly well for a smaller test system (a 5x5 graphene supercell). For my 10x10 supercell, the pw.x executable works, however, for the ph.x executable I keep getting the following error:
ERROR(FoX) Could not open file /global/cscratch1/sd/mh5213/scanmode/2%/10x10/test/test_proc/test.save/data-file-schema.xml - not a valid URI Even though, the xml file is where it is supposed to be and in the correct format. I also tried version 6.2.1 and obtain the same error. Then I compiled version 6.3. configured with - - no xml as previously discussed in the forum but it does not change anything. Furthermore, I tried to increase the RAM and played with the level of parallelisation (the number of requested nodes and cpus per node). My input file for the ph.x executable is: Normal modes for graphene &inputph tr2_ph=1.0d-12, prefix='test', recover=.true., amass(1)=12.010, outdir='/global/cscratch1/sd/mh5213/scanmode/2%/10x10/test/test_proc' epsil=.false., fildyn='dmat.5x5' / 0.0 0.0 0.0 As I said, it works perfectly well for my smaller test system (the 5x5 graphene supercell). I also tried to remove the recover=.true. keyword but it does not change anything. Any help would be much appreciated. Best wishes, Mariana.
