[QE-users] Error in Calculating the d2ns_bare matrix in ph.x

Dear Mohaddeseh,


Maybe you can try to use more nodes (more RAM)?


Some other comments:

- It is better to try the Davidson diagonalisation method for the SCF calculation

- conv_thr =  1.0d-6 is too large. Try to use 1.0d-12 - 1.0d-15

- If you start the Phonon calculation from scratch (using the PW data) then do not set recover=.true.

- I suggest to use QE 6.6


Greetings,

Iurii

Dear Mohaddeseh,


Please check the posting guidelines:

https://www.quantum-espresso.org/forum


In particular, you should tell us which version of QE do you use, provide input and output files (e.g. via Google Drive), tell us how do you run the job (how many cores, how many k pools, etc.), which compilers and libraries do you use.


But my guess is that your job crashes because you do not have enough RAM.


Greetings,

Iurii

Subject: [QE-users] Error in Calculating the d2ns_bare matrix in ph.x

Hello QE users
When I am trying to calculate the d2ns_bare matrix for LDA+U phonon calculation of my structure, I am faced with this error:
