opteron serial crash
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 8:45 am
Hi
I have compiled a serial version of vasp.4.28 on a opteron quad running Red Hat Enterprise AS version 4. I am using the Intel compiler (version 9) alongwith goto and fftw3 libraries. I have no problems in the execution of small jobs requiring less than 0.5 GB of RAM but the larger jobs crash out with the error "ZPOTRF failed". The error remains even if I change the algorithm for diagonalization and there is no problem with the input files. They run on other machines.
Is there any work around that someone can suggest?
Thanks
Priya
