malformed vasrun.xml using neb calculation

#1 Post by iciquser » Wed Feb 25, 2015 3:02 pm

Hi,
when we use more than one processor (in a single node) for running neb calculaton the vasrun.xml generated is malformed. Seems like some processes write in the vasprun.xml at a time.

Malformed vasprun.xml example:

<dipole>
<v name="dipole"> 0.00000000 0.00000000 -0.57995714 </v>
<i name="e_wo_entrp"> -678.63840248 </i>
<i name="e_0_energy"> -678.66606276 </i>
</energy>


<dipole>
<v name="dipole"> 0.00000000 0.00000000 -0.53668763 </v>
<i name="Tr[quadrupol]"> -10199.64033098 </i>
<i name="Echarged"> 0.00000000 <time name="total"> 45.93
45.95</time>
<dipole>


<dipole>
<v name="dipole"> 0.00000000 0.00000000 -0.72725622 </v>
<i name="Tr[quadrupol]"> -10203.47765243 </i>
<i name="Echarged"> 0.00000000 </i>
<i name="Edipol_quadrupol <structure>
<crystal>
