Unexpected error during GW calculation

#1 Post by wvno2 » Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:53 am

Hello,

I'd like to ask about the reason of the error during GW0 calculation. I set 4 iteration steps for GW0, and first 3 steps have done normally. However, the error occurred during the early stage of 4th step. The error is like below;

=====================================================================================================================
allocating 7 responsefunctions rank= 21120
shmem allocating 2 responsefunctions rank= 21120
response function shared by NCSHMEM nodes 1
Doing 7 frequencies on each core in blocks of 2
NQ= 1 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000,

A system call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.

So far I've been done many GW calculations, but this is the first time to see the error like this. Please suggest any advice that would help to solve this error. Let me show my INCAR below;

ISTART = 1 !0 0 start from scratch, 1 use old WAVECAR
ICHARG = 0 !2 1 use old CHGCAR, 2 superposition atoms, +10 Fix CHG
ISMEAR = 0 ! -5 Tetra+Blochl, 0 Gaussian, >=1 MP
SIGMA = 0.05 ! Width smearing
EDIFF = 1.0E-5 ! Electronic convergence criterium
NELM = 4
PREC = Normal ! used precision
LREAL = .FALSE.
LWAVE = .TRUE. ! Write the WAVECAR file
LCHARG = .TRUE. ! Write the CHGCAR fianceele
LVHAR = .TRUE. ! write the LOCPOT file (electrostatic potential)
ENCUT = 475 ! Kinetic energy cutoff (ENMAX - O_GW:434)

NBANDS = 480 ! Increase it when unoccupied bands are considered (check # of occupied bands)
LOPTICS = .TRUE.
PRECFOCK = fast ! used PRECFOCK = Normal (default) for high quality calculations
ALGO = GW0
NOMEGA = 100

LORBIT = 10
EMIN = -20
EMAX = 20
NEDOS = 4001

Thank you so much.

Best regards,
Kwangnam Kim

Please report more details on your setup including POSCAR, INCAR, KPOINTS and which potentials you use or submit a bug report to the vasp-master.
