version 5.4.4, segmentation fault

#1 Post by wpiskorz » Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:32 pm

Hello,

I compiled VASP 5.4.4 with following settings:
* Intel compiler v15.0.2.164 with MKL
* openmpi-2.1.0 (following the advice posted in this forum, could not compile VASP with mpich2)

I wanted to execute the XANES_in_Diamond example (original input files). The calculation started but crashed so I started VASP under control of gdb. Here is the log:

Does anyone know whether it is the problem with openmpi (sigsegv was dropped by libmpi.so.20) or rather by MKL?
Help, please! :-)

Re: version 5.4.4, segmentation fault

Dear All,

Some news:
I tried to compile VASP with impi (again with debug flag) but the runtime error (sigsegv) persists. The error message is:

{ 0, 0}: On entry to
DESCINIT parameter number 6 had an illegal value
internal error in INIT_SCALA: DESCA, DESCINIT, INFO: -6

So I resolved to undefine the scalapack (removed -DscaLAPACK) and now VASP seems to work properly (still testing). I have no idea whether the speed penalty on commenting on scalapack is important. Can anyone comment it, please?

With best regards,
Witold
