parallel calculation error
« on: May 27, 2014, 18:11 »
Dear All,

I was using parallel calculation for a while and never met a problem previously. Recently I met a problem about parallel calcualtion. The error shows like following:

|  96  Cu   [   3.866 ,  12.144 ,   6.326 ]   10.99981  -0.00019               |
|  97  Cu   [   6.422 ,  12.144 ,   6.326 ]   10.99981  -0.00019               |
|  98  Cu   [   8.978 ,  12.144 ,   6.326 ]   10.99981  -0.00019               |
|  99  Cu   [  11.535 ,  12.144 ,   6.326 ]   10.99981  -0.00019               |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  12 E =   -241.9 dE =  6.952814e-04 dH =  1.960330e-05                       |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

                            |--------------------------------------------------|
Calculating Eigenvalues    : ==================================================

1: MEMS361-2-PC: -1073741819: process 1 exited without calling finalize
2: MEMS361-PC: 123
3: MEMSLab-PC: 123

After this, I tried to do the same parallel calcuation again. The error appears again showing as follow:

|  96  Cu   [   2.588 ,  10.866 ,   6.326 ]   11.00019   0.00019               |

|  98  Cu   [   7.700 ,  10.866 ,   6.326 ]   11.00019   0.00019               |
|  99  Cu   [  10.256 ,  10.866 ,   6.326 ]   11.00019   0.00019               |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  17 E = -241.902 dE =  1.842085e-04 dH =  1.172817e-05                       |

Does anyone know what the problem is with my computers?

Thank you very much.

I'd guess too that it's an issue with the machines, rather than the calculation. Possibly one of the nodes has run out of memory. Try a slightly smaller calculation (for instance, reduce the number of history steps) and see if it can complete.
