bad termination

#1 Post by scanmat_centre » Mon May 08, 2023 7:16 am

Hello Team VASP

I am facing an error of bad termination for may calculations as follows.
BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES
= PID 4651 RUNNING AT scanmatdgx1
= EXIT CODE: 1
= CLEANING UP REMAINING PROCESSES
= YOU CAN IGNORE THE BELOW CLEANUP MESSAGES

Here I am attaching my INCAR, script file, and OUTCAR (for hybrid band calculation). I have obtained the same result for another optimisation calculation also.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

INCAR
ISTART = 1 !0 Start job: 1 restart constant energy cut-off 2 restart constant basis set
PREC = Normal
LWAVE= .TRUE.
LREAL = TRUE !
!!Electronic relaxation :
EDIFF = 1E-6 ! accuracy required 1E-6
NELMIN = 5 !no of ELM steps !
LORBIT = 11
!!Ionic relaxation:
ENCUT = 300
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.01
EDIFFG= -0.01
#GGA = PE
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
HFSCREEN = 0.2
PRECREEN = Fast
AEXX = 0.25
ALGO = All
LVDW= TRUE
IVDW = 1
NBANDS = 200


OUTCAR
Using device 0 (rank 0, local rank 0, local size 1) : Tesla P100-SXM2-16GB
running on 1 total cores
distrk: each k-point on 1 cores, 1 groups
distr: one band on 1 cores, 1 groups
using from now: INCAR

| Your generating k-point grid is not commensurate to the symmetry |

| to k-points for HF type calculations |
| suggested SOLUTIONS: |
| ) if not already the case, use automatic k-point generation |
| ) shift your grid to Gamma (G) (e.g. required for hex or fcc lattice) |

Dear scanmat_centre,

The gpu-port (vasp_gpu) is not supported anymore. Please understand that we can provide assistance only to recent vasp versions (vasp 6 and newer).
In the following I can only name some general points that might help you to find the problem:
  • Check POSCAR if any larger ions are very close to each other (<1 A)
    Check if MAGMOM is set if you consider a magnetic system
    Check INCAR for spelling errors and format
