[Wien] Segmentation fault in Supercell Calculation

Tue Jul 28 21:55:20 CEST 2015

Dear Professor:

Yes, "x lapw0" works without mpi.

My mpi compile : mpif90

I use Open MPI， version 1.4.5

the parallel compilation options are

-FR -mp1 -w -prec_div -pc80 -pad -ip -DINTEL_VML -traceback -assume buffered_io

I use Intel MKL libraries, that part should be fine.

Thanks very much for your help.

Sincerely
Wangwei Lan

Does a simple "x lapw0" work, i.e. without mpi, for this specific case?

If it does then there is probably an error in how you have linked/compiled the mpi versions. Please provide:

a) The mpi compiler you used.
b) Which type of mpi you are using (openmpi, mvapich, intel mpi etc)
c) The parallel compilation options.

N.B., a useful resource is https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor

N.N.B., ulimit -s is not needed, this is (now) done in the software.

Dear Professor Marks:

I've check everything you have mentioned, they are all fine, nevertheless it still don't work. I think the input files are ok since I have no problem running in non-parallel mode.

I tried to make the supercell smaller (2x1x1), then it works. However, I don't know why that happens.

By the way, I have "ulimit -s unlimited " in my .bashrc file. I'v also adjusted the RKMAX and RMT before.

You have what is called a "Segmentation Violation" which was detected by 4 of the nodes and they called an error handler which stopped the mpi job on all the CPU's.

This is normally because you have an error of some sort in your input files, any of case.in0, case.clmsum (and clmup/dn if you are using spin polarized).

1) Check that you do not have overlapping spheres and/or other mistakes.
2) Check your error files, e.g. "cat *.error". Are any others (e.g. dstart.error) not empty? Did you ignore an error during setup?
3) Check the lapw0 output in case.output0* -- maybe shows what is wrong.

There are many possible sources, you have to find the specific one.

Dear WIEN2k user:

I am using wien2k_14.2 on CentOS release 5.8. ifort version 12.1.3 with MKL.

After generating a 2x2x1 supercell with 30 atoms, I tried to do the scf calculation. However, I got some errors. I'v attached it at the end of this email. My wien2k was installed correctly. It works well for other calculations. It also worked if I run non-parallel calculation for supercell. I'v searched the mail-list, but can't find any solutions. Could you give me a hint on how to solve the problem? Thank you very much.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 18 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD

with errorcode 451782144.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.

You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on

exactly when Open MPI kills them.

mpirun has exited due to process rank 18 with PID 26388 on

have caused other processes in the application to be
