[CP2K:4964] Problem with MPI and CP2k

[Iain Bethune]

Hi Martin,

I believe the cause is that the preprocessor define -D__PARALLEL is case sensitive and should be -D__parallel .

Cheers

- Iain

On some other clusters before (and on my local machine) it always worked fine. But now I am facing a problem, and am out of ideas how to solve it. Your suggestions are appreciated.

All output is written multiple times to stdout, and CP2k says: "GLOBAL| Total number of message passing processes    1", which is wrong, because there are several processes. Then, of course, it crashes, because of this inconsistency. (The crash is "err=-300 sum of local cols not equal global colscp_fm_struct.F")

Our cluster has the module system, so I loaded all different MPI distributions which were available (OpenMPI in several versions, MPICH2 in several versions, Intel MPI). The MPI versions match the compiler I am using (all compiled with GCC 4.7.1). The result is always exactly the same like described above. I also tried to compile an own version of OpenMPI, but still the result is the same.

The Scalapack library has some test executables - those also run fine in parallel, and show a nice scaling behavior. This error only occurs in conjunction with CP2k.
