[QE-users] [SUSPECT ATTACHMENT REMOVED] Error in routine divide_et_impera (1):

Dear Abdulla and Quantum Espresso friends,

It is great that you have sorted it out. However, to learn from this, please
consider the following questions?

If you change -nk 4 to -nk 1, then how does QE run over 24 processors?

or slightly differently phrased:

Why did you use 24 processors and not 16 or 23 or any other number?

I assumed that -np 24 means 24 processors.

Hi Michal and QE friends,

Thanks for the helpful suggestions , the advice worked.

When the nk (last second line) was changed from 4 to 1 in the submit script, the SCF calculations were executed. I guess this was the way to change the npool.

divide_et_impera (1):

Dear Abdulla,
No need to run on 1 processor. The error is caused by the fact that the
number of k-points (1) is not divisible by the number of MPI pools
(4 in your case). Run with -npool 1 instead of -npool 4.

Dear Abdulla and Quantum Espresso friend,

From the error message you showed I got the impression that there is
something wrong in the way you run mpi. If you run parallel along kpoints
(111), then some nodes will be workless.

Run on 1 processor (not parallel) and the error message might disappear.

If I recall correctly, you can also run in parallel along the bands. That might
be an alternative, if you insist on running in parallel.

Hi QE community members,


When I conduct scf calculation on an organometallic TMA
(trimethylaluminium), it shows an error.

For molecules we consider Kpoints 11100, with this its gives  the below
error and when the Kpoints are changed to 33300 there is no error, I am not
sure why it’s not working with 111000.

I have a considered TMA compound  inside a unit cell of 15A.
