When using the srun setup of WIEN2k it means that you are tightly integrated into your system and have to follow all your systems default settings.

For instance you configured CORES_PER_NODE =1; but I very much doubt that you cluster has only one core per node and srun will probably make certain assumptions about that.

Two suggestions for tests:

a) run it on only ONE node, but on all cores of this node. The corresponding .machines-file should have
1:machine1:YY    where YY is the number of cores (16 or 24, ..)

b) If your queuing system setup allows to use mpirun, reconfigure WIEN2k (siteconfig) with the default intel+mkl option (not the srun option). It will then suggest to use mpirun ... for starting jobs.

Make sure that in your batch job (I assume you are using it) the proper modules are loaded (intel, mkl, intel-mpi).

Dear WIEN2K community,

  Then, I ran a k-point parallelization with the .machines file below, and it worked perfectly:

     granularity:1

1:machine1

2:machine2

extrafine:1

   But, when I tried to parallelize it over MPI with the new .machines file:

       granularity:1

       1:machine1 machine2

extrafine:1

lapw1 crashed with the error message as

**   Error in Parallel LAPW1

**.  LAPW1 STOPPED

** check ERROR FILES!

   SEP INFO = -21

‘SECLR4’. -SYEVX (Scalapack/LAPACK) failed

Although I understand that the 21st parameter of the SYEVX subroutine is incorrect, I am not sure how to fix the problem. I actually have linked WIEN2K with NETLIB’s SCALAPACK/LAPACK/BLAS instead of MKL. But the same error appeared again.

Please help me out. Thanks.
