Dear All,

I can only use vdw-df1 and vdw-df2 functionals in serial in vasp 5.2.12 11Nov11 but fail in parallel. I download the vdw kernel and create a symbolic link to it in the job directory. Also I directly copy the kernel to the job directory. The following is the error message. What is problem? Thank you for your help.

Any suggestion?

Is my INCAR file correct? My system has 13 atoms.

Hi,
Are you able to run PBE calculations in parallel?
Can you run spin-unpolarised vdW-DF in parallel (of a small system)?

Actually, the 5.2.12 version will most likely not work properly with ISIF=3 and ISPIN=2, do you still get an error when you switch to ISPIN=1?
There was a bug with the stress calculation but it looks it is only fixed in the new version and not in 5.2.12, you should change to 5.3.3.
Or, if you have access to the code, go to line where VDW_CALC_spin is called (it should be 137), add ISIF as the last parameter after "stress" and
delete the next line stress=0.d0. That might fix your issues, but otherwise the newest version is recommended.

Hi
I can run PBE calculation without vdW-DF and spin-unpolarised vdW-DF calculation in parallel. I will go to vasp 5.3.3. Thank you very much.
