Segmentation fault with pgi 11.9

[kzhk]

Hi, all

I am trying to compile VASP 5.2.12 with pgi compilers 11.9.

I read the article:
http://www.pgroup.com/resources/vasp/vasp_pgi2010.htm .
I can not understand 6-th step, but I can compile vasp.

Then I try to run vasp with Example Files(Hans-on Session 1 ),
Segmentation Fault appears.

Console says,
1_1_O_atom$ ../../vasp.5.2/vasp

Is it possible to compile VASP with pgi compilers ?
If possible, please let met know how to compile.

You need to reduce the optimization for broyden.o, add this to the end of your Makefile:

broyden.o: broyden.F
$(CPP)
$(F77) -O1 -Mfree -c $*$(SUFFIX)

I used the makefile.linux_pg and encountered the same problem as you, with PGI 11.5 / OpenMPI 1.4.3 / ACML / Furthm?ller FFTW. I have a working MPI executable but it is somewhat slower than those produced with any other compiler. However, I did not make any extensive test.

By the way, using CPU-specific optimizations such as "-tp k8-64" worsens the performance.
