Hello Everyone,

I am having problems running VASP successfully on a HPC machine. VASP is running successfully for few examples on 1 node (16 processors). The problem is :

1) It is not running on more than 1 node.
2) Except for few problems, now it is giving the following error :

POSCAR, INCAR and KPOINTS ok, starting setup
WARNING: small aliasing (wrap around) errors must be expected
FFT: planning ...
WAVECAR not read
WARNING: random wavefunctions but no delay for mixing, default for NELMDL
LAPACK: Routine ZPOTRF failed! 2 1 1

I have attached the system, I am trying to run on VASP. The version of VASP installed is 5.4.

Please have a look at the problem.

Thanks for the help.

Following are the input files attached :


INCAR

SYSTEM = Pd: fcc

# Electronic minimisation
ENCUT = 200.00 eV ! energy cut-off for the calculation (optional)

# DOS related values
ISMEAR =-5 ! tetrahedron method with Bloechel corrections
LREAL = Auto

KPOINTS

Automatic mesh
0 ! number of k-points = 0 ->automatic generation scheme
Gamma ! generate a Gamma centered grid
4 4 4 ! subdivisions N_1, N_2 and N_3 along recipr. l. vectors
0. 0. 0. ! optional shift of the mesh (s_1, s_2, s_3)
