Hi users and developers,
This is my first project using CP2K, so I'm sorry in advance if some of the
things I say might be wrong.
I am currently trying to generate a trajectory for a simulation of
diacetone diperoxide (DADP) using a NPT ensemble. I am attaching the input
file, and the submit script below.
The HPC that I am using has a CP2K module. I performed a wave-function
optimization, geometry optimization, cell optimization, and a NVE ensemble
calculation all using the module. However, now that I am running the NPT
calculation using the module it seems to hang. It reads in all the
parameters from a previous restart file, it starts to initiate the process
but gets stuck in the SCF optimization routine. It doesn't print an error
message, it just stays at that position until the wall time comes along and
kills the process. Sometimes it completes a lot of SCF optimization steps,
sometimes it gets through none.
What I've done so far to try to remedy the problem is that I've tried
compiling CP2K myself and running the calculation using that executable
instead of the module. I've had a bit more success with my own compiled
executable, but even with that it sometimes hangs. The system
administrators responsible for the HPC checked the binaries and said that
everything was fine.
Has anyone else had an issue similar to this?
Best,
Manav Kumar
I will attach my input file, output file, and submit script below so that
you can see what I have been doing.
