[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19310] Memory Leak on CP2k 9.1

[Krack Matthias]

Hi Quentin

There are some more cp2k 2023.2 docker containers for production<https://github.com/mkrack/cp2k/tree/master/tools/docker/production> available (build with MPICH or OpenMPI) which can also be pulled with apptainer (see READ.me<https://github.com/mkrack/cp2k/blob/master/tools/docker/production/README.md> for details). Maybe, you have more luck with one of these.

Best

Dear all,
The cluster staff has moved to using a docker with a CP2k image, with CP2k 2023.1 (https://hub.docker.com/r/cp2k/cp2k/tags). The program experiences serious memory leaks (out-of-memory crash after less than 24 hours on AIMD with a system less than 100 atoms with 256 GB). The cluster cannot use intelmpi versions older than intelmpi 20. Is there a more recent version of CP2k which is stable and does not experience this type of large memory leaks?
We've tried to compile our own versions of CP2k with multiple versions of openMPI to no avail. The only stable CP2k version we have is CP2k 6.1, which is used with intelMPI 18 but it is on a legacy container where no new software can be installed.
Has anyone managed to use this docker image succesfully, and if so, which MPI package/version have you used ? If necessary, we can downgrade down to CP2k 9.1.
Best,
Quentin

Hi Quentin

It seems that you are using OpenMPI which is known to have leaks in some versions. Check this issue<https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k/issues/1830#issuecomment-1012561166> and this discussion<https://groups.google.com/g/cp2k/c/BJ9c21ey0Ls/m/2UDxnhBRAQAJ> here on this forum for further information.

Subject: [CP2K:17807] Memory Leak on CP2k 9.1

Dear all,
Our group is encountering a memory leak issue that makes running DFT-MD impossible with large systems (~100 atoms) on one of the clusters we have access to, even though the same calculations run correctly on other machines.
The cluster support sent me the following valgrind output and asked me to find suggestions on how to proceed. Does anyone have input on how to deal with such memory leaks ?
Best,
Quentin P.
