<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Matthias,</div><div><br></div><div>thank you very much for your reply!! And I'm sorry for the delayed response. I tried to do that, but it is not so obvious to me how can I make the comparison. Also this info is globally for the complete job and I have time steps that run fast and slow. Is there a way to output this information every step?? That would be ideal!! <br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Alejandro.<br></div><br>El lunes, 1 de abril de 2019, 10:50:45 (UTC+2), Matthias Krack escribió:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">Hi Alejandro</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">You can compare the timing reports at the end of the CP2K output file for the same input before and after the maintenance. Maybe that gives a hint which routine(s) have slowed down. On the other hand, your admin should know what has been changed or updated during the maintenance which might give further hints. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">Matthias </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="9EBsjbotAgAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">c...@googlegroups.com</a> <<a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="9EBsjbotAgAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">c...@googlegroups.com</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b><a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="9EBsjbotAgAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">ar...@gmail.com</a><br> <b>Sent:</b> Montag, 1.

I'm performing DFTB calculations and I'm using one single node. Before the maintenance I obtained a time per frame profile like <b>before_maintenance.png</b>, with an average time per frame of 0.066 s; and after the maintenance, a profile like <b>after_maintenance.png, </b>with an average of 0.5 s (10 times slower!) and pretty unstable. Other weird things happens like <b>weird_job.png</b>, where you have normal slow frames, super slow frames and a window where the calculations went fast as they should. Everything for the same job, node, input file and slurm script. Actually, this window was replicated in all my other running jobs at the same time and for the same time length, so something happened globally in the cluster that allowed calculations to run fast for a period of time. </p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">I'm working with the administrator of the cluster to debug the problem, but my questions is: How can I approach this problem as a CP2K user? I want to discriminate if is a problem of mpi, hard drive or memory access, or other thing, so I can give the administrator more info of the problem.</p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,</p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Alejandro.</p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> </div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal">-- <br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cp2k" group.<br> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to <a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="9EBsjbotAgAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">cp...@googlegroups.<wbr>com</a>.<br> To post to this group, send email to <a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="9EBsjbotAgAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">c...@googlegroups.com</a>.<br> Visit this group at <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k';return true;" onclick="this.href='https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k';return true;">https://groups.google.com/<wbr>group/cp2k</a>.<br> For more options, visit <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/optout" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='https://groups.google.com/d/optout';return true;" onclick="this.href='https://groups.google.com/d/optout';return true;">https://groups.google.com/d/<wbr>optout</a>.</p> </div> </div> </blockquote></div>
