Standard LSF/VASP error when requesting more than 1 node

#1 Post by snoopjd » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:17 pm

I am experiencing problems submitting a vasp job with Standard LSF which is requesting more than 1 node (4 processors).

bsub -n5 -q parallel -o %J.out ./sp2.mpi

Job was executed on host(s) <4*n22>,<1*n12> in queue <parallel>, as user <js>.
M_divide: can not subdivide 5 nodes by 4

vasp.4.6.34 5Dec07 complex
MPI Application rank 4 killed before MPI_Finalize() with signal 11

probably you have set NPAR in your INCAR file to 4, hence the numbers of CPUs you request for your job must be an integer multiple of 4.
