[Wien] Update on hybrid troubles

I attempted to run a SCF loop using a hybrid functional and have run into some problems.  In my earlier try I had a incorrectly specified .machines file now I have addressed this problem. I also changed the SCRATCH environment variable to “./“ so that it points to the main directory for the calculation.  I have run a PBE SCF loop to normal terminal for an amorphous cluster of 96 atoms of Cu-Ge-Te.  I then ran the init_hf script and after setting the number of bands to 770 for my 1526 electron system, I set the MP grid to 2x2x2 for a total of four k-points.  I then ran the command "run_lapw -hf -p -in1new 2”.  The SCF loop ran through lapw0, lapw1, lapw2, core, and then crashed at the program hf.  The MPI processes upon crashing reported the following error:

forrtl: severe (67): input statement requires too much data, unit 26, file /usr/local/share/wien2k/Fons/aCGT/aCGT.weighhf

I have no idea why the program failed this time.  I am using the Intel compiler (15) and the Intel MPI environment (e.g. mpiexec.hydra) to launch parallel programs as can be seen in the “parallel_options” file.  The only *.error files are those like “hf_1.error” to “hf_4.error”  which contain the not particularly useful information “error in hf”. So the error occurred in the routine “hf”.   I would be most grateful for any advice as to what to try next.  I have included what I hope is relevant debugging information below.


My parallel_options files (in all nodes) are


matstud at gemini.a04.aist.go.jp:~/Wien2K>cat parallel_options 
setenv TASKSET "no"
setenv USE_REMOTE 0
setenv MPI_REMOTE 0
setenv WIEN_GRANULARITY 1
setenv WIEN_MPIRUN "mpiexec.hydra -n _NP_ -machinefile _HOSTS_ _EXEC_"


My .machines files is as follows:


lapw0:localhost:12
1:localhost:12
1:localhost:12
1:draco-ib:12
1:draco-ib:12
granularity:1
extrafine:1
