SIGSEGV in vasp 5.4.4 on line 808 of hamil.F

#1 Post by craig_plaisance1 » Wed Jul 21, 2021 7:06 pm

I'm frequently getting a seg fault that I trace to line 808 of hamil.F (see stack trace below). It occurs "randomly" but it is deterministic - i.e., it only happens for certain POSCAR/INCAR files, but it will occur every time a job is submitted with that POSCAR/INCAR. Seems to happen more often for small systems (molecule in a box) like the one attached.

The executable was compiled using the intel fortran compiler, version 18.0.0, with MKL (makefile.include is attached). I tried compiling with -check all in main.F, electron.F, rmm-diis.F, and hamil.F but that didn't catch anything. The input files are attached, along with stdout and stderr (cci_out, cci_err). The latest PAW pseudopotentials were used.

Can you check what is the output of

Code: Select all

ulimit -s
on the computer where you are running VASP?

In case it is not unlimited you should set it:

Code: Select all

ulimit -s unlimited
In principle, you can add this command to your .bashrc or equivalent.

Yes, that did it!
Now I see that VHAMIL declares some pretty big arrays on the stack - makes sense now
Thanks for the tip
