[Wien] Error in nlvdw

In principle, the nlvdw module requires (much) more RAM than lapw0, lapw1, etc. do.

I am able to run GGA on the same structure & there is no problem of RAM in that case.

And if this was really a problem of RAM, then you need to use more computers in order to have more RAM in total.

Dear Prof. Tran,

                     Thank you so much for your reply. I got it.

with regards,

The RAM of the computer was probably not sufficient and the job got killed. For such large systems you need to do MPI parallel calculations by adding a line "nlvdw:..." in the file .machines (see user's guide for detail) and using option -p (runsp_lapw -p ...). You should also run the other modules (lapw0, lapw1, lapw2) in parallel.

Beside this, I will very soon (probably tomorrow) send to the mailing list updated Fortran files for the nlvdw module. With these updates, MPI calculations should be much faster.

F. Tran

2) What omp are you using? What mpi?

   OPENMP 201511 and Open MPI: 3.1.2 are used

3) What is the FFT size you are using, how much memory do you have?

   I am using 8 Gb Ram & I don't know how to check FFT size.

A guess; the FFT size is too large for your memory.

Dear Wien2k users,

                         I was trying to simulate structural optimization of an Li-Sn alloy using nlvdw functional  rev-vdW-DF2. I have successfully used this functional for other simple structures like SnS2. However, I have encountered an error in the first cycle as "Error in NLVDW" this time. I have attached the struct file herewith this mail.

Looking forward to hearing from you. However, if any other information is required, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

with regards,
