Doesn't happen to me

Hello Paolo,

I think the problem happens before the start of the iteration of self-consistent calculation.

The last output from .out file before the crash is like this:

"Smooth grid:   274793 G-vectors     FFT dimensions: (  81,  81, 81)"
"Estimated max dynamical RAM per process >     594.72 MB"
"Estimated total dynamical RAM >       9.29 GB"
"Initial potential from superposition of free atoms"
"starting charge     755.9699, renormalised to     756.0000"
"Starting wfcs are  702 randomized atomic wfcs"

Thank you.

Best regards,
Xin

You get the message when the calculation starts, after initialization, after a few scf steps, after a few optimization steps, ... ?

Dear Quantum Espresso Forum,

I encountered a problem related to the parallel computing using QE7.1 for vc-relax.

I was trying to perform a vc-relax for a 3*3*3 BCC tungsten super cell. The code works fine for non-parallel computing, also works fine for parallel computing if the number of processors is smaller than 10.

However, if the number of processors is larger than 10, I will get following MPI error:
/*** An error occurred in MPI_Comm_free//
//*** reported by process [3585895498,2]//
//*** on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD//
//*** MPI_ERR_COMM: invalid communicator//
//*** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (processes in this communicator will now abort,//
//***    and potentially your MPI job)/

For parallel computing, I am using /OpenMPI/3.1.4-gcccuda/. (In addition, it seems that If I use OpenMPI V4, the simulation speed will be much slower than that of V3.)

Another thing is that, if I decrease the size of the supper cell, for example to 2*2*2, then there is no problem in the parallel computing even if I use more than 30 processors.

Could you help me look at this problem, please?

The input for QE can be found below.

Thank you in advance!
