Vasp 5.2.2 Keeps crashing free(): invalid next size (fast)

Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 9:54 am

Good Day,
I am having problems getting Vasp 5.2.2 to work. I am compiling with PGI 8.0.5 and have experienced the same crash using standalone pgf90 and openmpi. (I have previously compiled and run Vasp 4.6 with no errors)

The program compiles without errors but then crashes before the first iteration.

# BLAS must be installed on the machine
# there are several options:
# 1) very slow but works:
#   retrieve the lapackage from ftp.netlib.org
#   and compile the blas routines (BLAS/SRC directory)
#   please use g77 or f77 for the compilation. When I tried to
#   use pgf77 or pgf90 for BLAS, VASP hang up when calling
#   ZHEEV  (however this was with lapack 1.1 now I use lapack 2.0)
# 2) most desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#   for a list of optimized BLAS try
#     http://www.kachinatech.com/~hjjou/scilib/opt_blas.html
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 3a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, Itanium)
#     http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
#   this is really excellent when you use Intel CPU's
#
# 3b) or obtain the atlas based BLAS routines
#     http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
#   you certainly need atlas on the Athlon, since the  mkl

# one comment for users of mpich or lam:
# You must *not* compile mpi with g77/f77, because f77/g77             
# appends *two* underscores to symbols that contain already an        
# underscore (i.e. MPI_SEND becomes mpi_send__).  The pgf90
# compiler however appends only one underscore.
# Precompiled mpi version will also not work !!!
#
# We found that mpich.1.2.1 and lam-6.5.X are stable
# mpich.1.2.1 was configured with 
#  ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mpich_nodvdbg -fc="pgf77 -Mx,119,0x200000"  \

#
# please note that you might be able to use a lam or mpich version

Vasp 5.2.2 Keeps crashing free(): invalid next size (fast)

Could this thread please be moved the the Bugreports forum, as it appears to be more a code error than an installation one.

I have done some more testing with the serial version with no optimisation and it appears the problem occurs when it is writing out the results of the calculation.

Using a basic 2 ion POSCAR, it appears to complete the calculation then crashes before it can write to the WAVECAR, CHGCAR.

POSCAR:

Vasp 5.2.2 Keeps crashing free(): invalid next size (fast)

JR, I have similar problems in similar calculations, but already much earlier when the first call to ewald or hamil is made. All of the kind

Well, I have them also when running vasp.4.6.31 compiled with PGI 8.0-6 .... Only the PGI 6 compiler produces a running version of vasp 4.6.31. Unfortunately, Vasp 5.2.2 cannot be compiled with PGI 6 (some not yet implemented MPI calls are made in 5.2.2)

Hitherto, I suspected that it's due to the implementation/environment set by our compute center [MPICH / MPICH2 ..]
But it may also be triggered in PGI by some of the routines within vasp ...(no problems on another platform using Intels compiler ...)

as by now, I can do "larger" test problems. the size depends on parallel/serial and the number of procs chosen.
Using Vasp.4.6.36 I can now compile this with PGI-8.0-6 (and Intel 11).

Vasp 5.2.2 still awaits a solution (probebly all is related to hamil.F and interfacing older F77 code --- but lets leave this to the experts)

Hi pkroll,
Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if this would be caused by the same thing. I can compile the 4.6 version with the PGI 8 compiler with no difficulty. It only has problems with the 5.2 code, and only when writing out the result. I am compiling the non-MPI version to try to debug it, so the MPICH options shouldn't matter

Hi Alex,
I'm not sure if your question is addressed at pkroll or myself. I have tried it with a 2 ion system, so I am not sure if I can get it much smaller.

@JR: well, I think you're right. It's not exactly the same error. As by now, i can compile 4.6.36 (there we go ..) using PGI-8 as well.
Version 5.2.2 can be compiled but runs only on "small" problems. Using the debugger I can trace my problems being related to "hamil.F" and the interfacing to F77 sub-routines (the new compilers are a bit more rigorously in their interpretation of F90 standards; compare hamil.F in 4.6.31 with that in 4.6.36 --- and then compare it to 5.2.2 which still contains the "old" interfacing of 4.6.31).

The SEGFAULT I have is "size-dependent" and only occurs at the first call in hamil. Never (like in your case) after some successful iterations.

However, it may well be that the origin of your error is just the same.

Thanks Semiluo. Could you please give me some context of where the lines should be added, i.e. the line above and below where the extra allocate line should be.
The first entry is you already show the existing lines commented out, but the second and last entry could be placed in a number of locations that may affect operation. e.g. Is last entry before or after END SUBROUTINE SET_DD_PAW ?

Thankyou

JR and Semiluo,


I am having a similar problem attempting to run calculations on larger atom systems in VASP 5.2.2. I was wondering if you could either post in more detail, the context of the dynamic matrix code for the three groups of statements mentioned (i.e. the exact placement w.r. to existing or commented out code) or just post the modified paw.F file.


Thanks in advance

Tom

Hello,

I am also trying to compile parallel vasp.5.2 with PGI.

At the beginning, the compiled VASP can do USPP simulation in good agreement with other cluster data. But for PAW, it does not work well.

Then, I follow this thread discussion, make a little correction to PAW.F and compiled it again. Now I could do parallel calculation for single Fe atom with 32 cpus. Results looks fine But for 47 atoms system, I met a big trouble.


The error message is "BRMIX: very serious problems the old and the new charge density differ". The input files I used are the same as those in computation from another cluster. I don't find this charge difference error there. So is there any suggestions on my problem?

I checked the stack size by typing ulimit -a. It is 49067724 kb. Is it be large enough?

Thanks!!
