Hi,<div><br></div><div>Are you sure your MPI / OpenMP settings will work (1 MPI process + 6 OMP threads + NPROC_REP 16)? Try running in serial with OMP_NUM_THREADS = 1 and NPROC_REP 1 and see if the calculation begins like normal. I'm not sure how NPROC_REP handles OMP threads, but with OMP_NUM_THREADS = 1, NPROC_REP divides into the total number of MPI processes and breaks NEB and vibrational spectra into that many chunks. So if you had 16 MPI processes (e.g., mpiexec -np 16) and set NPROC_REP to 4, you would break the vibrational spectrum calculation into 4 chunks each using 4 MPI processes per vibrational mode. I *think* if you combine that with OpenMP, say OMP_NUM_THREADS = 4, then you would only have 4 MPI processes and NPROC_REP 4 would just give you 1 chunk.</div><div><br></div><div>-T<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Friday, May 14, 2021 at 12:15:02 AM UTC-4 sum...@gmail.com wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr">Hii,<br><div><br></div><div>Now I have done cell_opt for my 2x2x2 lattice system. I prepared an argon lattice. There will be 32 argon atoms on my lattice. Now I replace one argon atom with a CO molecule (Carbon dioxide).  I again do the cell_opt for this system.</div><div><br></div><div>After optimization I want to do vibrational analysis for this system. My calculation stopped when SCF started.  I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can you please suggest something?</div><div><br></div><div>The error message is:</div><div><br></div><div>SCF PARAMETERS         Density guess:                                   RESTART<br></div><div>                        --------------------------------------------------------<br>                        max_scf:                                             100<br>                        max_scf_history:                                       0<br>                        max_diis:                                              4<br>                        --------------------------------------------------------<br>                        eps_scf:                                        1.00E-06<br>                        eps_scf_history:                                0.00E+00<br>                        eps_diis:                                       1.00E-01<br>                        eps_eigval:                                     1.00E-05<br>                        --------------------------------------------------------<br>                        level_shift [a.u.]:                                 0.00<br>                        --------------------------------------------------------<br>                        Mixing method:                           DIRECT_P_MIXING<br>                        --------------------------------------------------------<br>                        Outer loop SCF in use<br>                        No variables optimised in outer loop<br>                        eps_scf                                         1.00E-06<br>                        max_scf                                               15<br>                        No outer loop optimization<br>                        step_size                                       5.00E-01<br>"ar31-co.out" 120L, 8381C                                                            <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here I attached my input and out files.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, May 14, 2021 at 9:36 AM sumit agrawal <<a href data-email-masked rel="nofollow">sum...@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks Matthias for the information. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 13, 2021 at 3:03 PM Krack Matthias (PSI) <<a href data-email-masked rel="nofollow">mat...@psi.ch</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
