I am performing a 72 atom system calculation on two machines:
1. SGI Altix (itanium 2) with shared memory (32Gb).
NUME=5000 and NMATMAX=10000
2. PIV 1GB RAM, 2.0GHz
NUME=2000 and NMATMAX=10000
I am trying to get the self consistancy over single k-point, with TETRA
option in case.in2c file. The first 3 lines of the case.in2c on both
the above machines are:
TOT (TOT,FOR,QTL,EFG,FERMI)
-9.0 650.0 0.50 0.05 EMIN, NE, ESEPERMIN, ESEPER0
TETRA 0.000 (GAUSS,ROOT,TEMP,TETRA,ALL eval)
The total number of eigen values evaluated are:
Machine 1---> 2 Machine 2--->678
On the machine 1 the SCF cycle ends with error in lapw2c
'FERMI' - EFERMI OUT OF ENERGY RANGE
The energy range in the case.in1c file is identical too.
My question is, why does the same 72 atom system give 2 different results
on different machines? Is there some other parameter which has to be
changed on the machine 1 for successful SCF completion?
I am using the same version of WIEN2K on both the machines (VERSION
WIEN2k_04.10 (Release 8/10/2004), which i am in the process of updating
to the latest version).
Regards,
Nandan.
