Abnormal Termination

#1 Post by ganguly » Tue Mar 07, 2017 7:19 am

Dear VASP user,
We are trying to run vasp in our cluster. However, it has not been completed successfully. I have pasted the error file along with OUTCAR file for your kind perusal. Please suggest me, how to solve this problem.

Error file
Last few lines:

1. Looks like your MPI is not correctly installed.
2. Could be the memory problem, as well.
Try to calculate the smaller cell with the decreased precision.

Thank you very much for your reply. We have tried with smaller cell but got the same error. The MPI is working nicely with the other parallel program e.g. gromacs, cp2k. In our other cluster memory is an issue. Could you please tell me, how can we solve the memory issue?
Best regards,
Bishwajit

If smaller cell gives the same error then this is not the memory issue.
Have a look at MPI installation of VASP. The correct installation
of other programs (gromacs, cp2k) does not mean that
MPI installation of VASP is correct, as well.
