A strange problem when running CP2K

[yoman]

Hi everyone!

I have a problem that the job will stop writing output file when the cluster 
server shows the job is still running. Moreover, there is no error message. 
Is this the way CP2K told me the job is dead? Let me describe this problem 
in detail. I run a Molecular dynamics simulation of iceIh using BLYP or PBE 
functional for 30 ps.( timestep = 0.5 fs) The BLYP job would run well in 
certain nodes and cores. The best combination is 8nodes and each node has 8 
cpus. When I increase the number of nodes to 12 (each has 8 cpus) the job 
will have the problem I have mentioned within 500 steps. Moreover, 
restarting the job will have the same problem. Besides, when I try to use 
the same setting (same nodes with the same cores) to run the PBE job. It has 
the problem again. Did anyone has the same problem? The following is my 
input file of the job.

Thanks in advance for any reply
