    <p>It is parallelized with openmp (not MPI), although I have not
      tested it in a while. I do not know what causes a bus error, it is
      not something I had seen since the nineties. Maybe out of memory ?

              <div>Yes it took little more than 5 days to compute only
                the first q-point. anyway it seems that I should use
                1x1x1 grid instead of 2x2x2. But are you suggesting to
                do the single mode calculation with 1x1x1 grid or the
                "mode=full" using the 1x1x1 grid?</div>
            </div>
          </blockquote>
          <p>Yes, but no need to do it: you have done it already. You
            can just call d3_qq2rr and specify "1 1 1" as the grid size:</p>
          <p>ls anh*| d3_qq2rr.x 1 1 1</p>
          <p>and it will automatically compute the force constants from
            the calculation at (0,0,0). This way you can immediately
            test how it works. <br>
          </p>
          <p>If you want to try the 2x2x2 grid, I would use 10 pools and
            maybe try with *fewer* CPUs per pool: at the moment you are
            using 128 which requires a lot of communications. If the
            calculation fits in RAM, I would recommend keeping each pool
            on a single computing node.</p>
          <p>You may try to use some local scratch in order to avoid
            running out of disk space (ask the cluster managers what to
            use).<br>
          </p>
          <p>Finally, if you manage to get everything running, you can
            run al the q-points triplet simultaneously as different
            batch jobs by setting "first" and "last". You can have the
            same outdir and prefix, as long as they work on different
            triplets, they will not interfere (this is true for d3q, but
            not in general for other linear response codes)<br>

                <p>Not really, the triple (0,0,0) is in itself the 1x1x1

                  Fourier interpolation trickery, you can use it to get
                  the D3 matrices at any point. Also, the d3_qq2rr code
                  is not particularly optimized, and is not parallelized
                  I'm not sure you would manage to compute the Fourier
                  transform of the 2x2x2 grid anyway.</p>
                <p>You have to keep in mind that the 3-body force
                  constant become huge very quickly with the number of
                  atoms and the size of the grid: each D3 matrix has
                  (3*nat)^3 complex elements, and a grid n x n x n 
                  contains n^6 power triplets</p>
                <p>In your case, the 2x2x2 grid would use about 2.2GB of
                  RAM, which is probably still feasible, but i would try
                  the 1x1x1 first.</p>

                        French computing centers I can try to have a
                        look directly.</p>
                      <p>I do not think the change in number of CPUs
                        could cause this problem, but if you provide the
                        full output I can check. Also, 44 atoms is a lot
                        for the d3q code, it seems like you're running
                        the second q-point triplet, which is of kind
                        (0,q,-q), it takes much more time and disk space
                        than the triplet (0,0,0). Maybe for such a large
                        system you can get some decent force-constants
                        already from (0,0,0) alone<br>
                      </p>
