MPI bug: internal error in: vhdf5_base.F at line: 2270

Dear developers and users,

I am trying to run some energy calculations on VASP/6.2.3 for organic small molecules and I get the following bug when running array jobs. This is the slurm.out file:

Code: Select all

cp: -r not specified; omitting directory 'VASP_AC-2990894-11'

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

I have run the similar job arrays for the structures (Gamma-centred k-point mesh) with different INCAR values and it has worked fine. I have attached the input files used for this batch calculation. Please let me know if you would need any further information. Many thanks for all your help and advice.

Best,
Amrita

Hi,

We would need more information:
-Have you tried to run this particular array job several times? If yes, was it always crashing ?
-Have you identified which calculation of the array job is producing the error message? Is it the one corresponding to the input files that you provided? If yes, does it crash if you run it separately?
-You mentioned that other array jobs did not crash. In what respect these other array jobs differ? Different setting in the slurm job script?
