MPI_Cart_create(

[qpbh08137]

Hi,

My vasp runs into error when I used it to do NEB calculations.
I tracked down the error source which is failed in calling MPI_Cart_create()

forrtl: severe (71): integer divide by zero

The source code:
SUBROUTINE M_divide( COMM, NPAR, COMM_INTER, COMM_INB, reorder)
IMPLICIT NONE
INCLUDE "pm.inc"

TYPE(communic) COMM, COMM_INTER, COMM_INB, COMM_CART
INTEGER NPAR,NPAR_2
INTEGER, PARAMETER :: ndims=2
INTEGER :: dims(ndims)
LOGICAL :: periods(ndims), reorder, remain_dims(ndims)
INTEGER :: ierror

WRITE(*,*) "NPAR1=", NPAR
WRITE(*,*) "COMM%NCPU=",COMM%NCPU
IF (NPAR >= COMM%NCPU) NPAR=COMM%NCPU
dims(1) = NPAR
dims(2) = COMM%NCPU/ NPAR
WRITE(*,*) "NPAR=", NPAR
WRITE(*,*) "COMM%NCPU=",COMM%NCPU
WRITE(*,*) "dims(1)=",dims(1)
WRITE(*,*) "dims(2)=",dims(2)

IF (dims(1)*dims(2) /= COMM%NCPU ) THEN
WRITE(0,*) 'M_divide: can not subdivide ',COMM%NCPU,'nodes by',NPAR
ENDIF

periods(ndims)=.FALSE.

CALL MPI_Cart_create( COMM%MPI_COMM , ndims, dims, periods, reorder, &
COMM_CART%MPI_COMM , ierror)
IF ( ierror /= MPI_success ) &
CALL M_stop_ierr('Dividepm: Error in MPI_Cart_create', ierror)
!# failed here

The printout
NPAR1= 6
COMM%NCPU= 72
NPAR= 6
COMM%NCPU= 72
dims(1)= 6
dims(2)= 12


Where the INCAR
NEB setting
MAXMOVE=0.2
TIMESTEP=0.1
ICHAIN=0
IMAGES=6
SPRING=-5
NPAR=6


And I can not find the subroutine of MPI_Cart_creat.
grep "MPI_Cart_create(" * -in
mpi.F:195: CALL MPI_Cart_create( COMM%MPI_COMM , ndims, dims, periods, reorder, &
mpi.f90:334: CALL MPI_Cart_create( COMM%MPI_COMM , ndims, dims, periods, reorder, &

So the subroutine of MPI_Cart_creat is the intrinsic subroutine of MPI.

The vasp program runs well except NEB. So I think the subroutine of MPI_Cart_creat is correct.
Then what's wrong?

Thanks

you seem to use the version of VASP that supports the climbing image approach. Tis version is not distributed by us, therefore it would be best to
contact the developers directly
