[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20722] Re: out of memory: C3N4 (56 atoms) HES06 + RI-HFX + ADMM

[yj jiang]

Thank you all very much for your help. A few days ago, I thought I had 
uploaded the output file here, but it seems that due to the large file 
size, the upload may not have been successful. I apologize for this.

Yesterday, I seemed to have found the reason. The supercomputing job system 
I am using has a memory allocation limit for each process, and this issue 
is not exclusive to cp2k jobs. I am now planning to set the maximum memory 
usage for cp2k to see if it resolves the problem.

Thank you again for your help!

Hi,
everything that Frederick mentioned is very relevant. Additionally, I'd 
like to add that the method was developed with small unit cells in mind. 
Your cell is quite large, and this might cause memory issues, although 
having a 2D material should help. I'll see if I am able to run it.
Best,
Augustin

Due to my lack of experience, I can just guess from my knowledge on RI 
methods, the manual and what I was told by the developer. Please also 
consider the respective manual page: 
https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/XC/HF/RI.html#CP2K_INPUT.FORCE_EVAL.DFT.XC.HF.RI 
.
- Change RI_METRIC to TRUNCATED and CUTOFF_RADIUS in the &RI section to a 
value between 1.0 and 2.0 . Lower values improve sparsity, larger values 
increase accuracy. The shortrange Coulomb metric has a rather large range. 
If you would like to stick to it, set the OMEGA parameter of the &RI 
section to a value larger then 0.11 (let's say 1-10).
- Just for testing, try a single k-point.
- Try other values of MEMORY_CUT in &RI. Larger values (try 10) should 
decrease the block sizes. I do not really know how it works but it does 
have an effect on memory usage.
- Increase EPS_FILTER in &RI to a larger value (double-check later whether 
you have to decrease it again).
If nothing of my suggestions work and the developer of the feature does not 
chime in, it may be that you do not have enough memory.
Best,
Frederick

Hi,
I am not an expert with RI-HFX but I would try to run potentially cheaper 
settings first (single k-point, smaller basis sets, larger value of omega, 
identity metric). It may also help to have an CP2K output file or 
supplementary input/output file if you submit jobs with a scheduler like 
Slurm. If there is no function stack in the output file(s) given (either by 
the compiler or by CP2K), you could also add the keywords TRACE and 
TRACE_MASTER to your GLOBAL section.
Best,
Frederick

Hi, I'm calculating band structure for C3N4 with a Ni atom (attachment). I 
want to use HES06 + RI-HFX + ADMM. There is a "out of memory" error. How 
can I address this? Thx. a lot.

I can access a hpc with max memory of 512G.
