Hi

I was able to compile and complete the installation of VASP 6.4.1 with Wannier90 3.1 (serial mode using ifort) and HDF5 using OneAPI 2022 on AMD EPYC 7643 based cluster without error. But, the testsuite got failed with following errors.

The following tests failed, please check the output file manually:

My users are always complaining about running VASP with Wannier 90 using AMD processors for all possible versions with gcc, aocc and oneAPI. I am still not able to figure out a working combination of versions of all these software.

I am attaching the makefile and testsuite.log also for reference. I ran the testsuite as root with proper settings for MPI. But, still the error persists.

Any inputs/suggestions related to this will be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Best,
Kalyan

Dear Kalyan,

Note that there was a bug in the wannier90 interface in version 6.4.1, which was fixed in version 6.4.2. Please consult the known issues list on the wiki. It seems that other things are at play here, however, since you have tests failing that do not use wannier90.

I would nevertheless try and use the current version 6.4.3, if you have access to it, while I try and reproduce your errors with 6.4.1.

Please also provide the link-line and cpp-options of your executables by using the -l and -c command line arguments.

The make.inc of your wannier90 installation could also be valuable.

One thing I can tell you immediately: you should expect the *_Libxc tests to fail if you do not compile with the -DUSELIBXC

I will reply again if I have, or have not reproduced your errors.
Cheers, Michael

Dear Kalyan,

I was able to reproduce your problems with the default stack size of 8192 KiB on our AMD EPYC 7713 node. So the issue is not the toolchain, but your stack size.

Please check your stack size with and set it to unlimited with You might want to do this in the .bashrc of all your users.

Then run the failed tests (other than the libXC ones) again using: Since you compiled with openMP support, it is a good idea to source the respective config file in the testsuite folder before you run the tests, if you have not already done that: For me, all those tests passed with unlimited stack size using our OneAPI 2022 toolchain (ifort version 2021.5.0, mkl 2022.0.1, impi 2021.5.0)

We will adapt our install documentation on the wiki to include the importance of unlimited stack size.

Note that you should still upgrade your version to fix the known bug in the Wannier90 interface that is present in 6.4.1!

Please let me know if this works for you,
Michael
