If you have problems during the execution of MRCC, please attach the output with an adequate description of your case as well as the followings:
  • the way mrcc was invoked
  • the way build.mrcc was invoked
  • the output of build.mrcc
  • compiler version (for example: ifort -V, gfortran -v)
  • blas/lapack versions
  • as well as gcc and glibc versions

This information really helps us during troubleshooting :)

I am still playing a bit with MRCC and ran into a case where I get:

Fatal error in mrcc.
Program will stop.

************************ 2014-08-21 09:56:53 *************************
Error at the termination of mrcc.
**********************************************************************

I have attached the output file and MINP.

What did I do wrong here?

Thanks,
René

PS I compiled with Intel -pOMP using intel 11 compilers on a RH 6.5 system.

PPS I just thought of adding the stderr output from SGE to this email, which may be helpful?:

Dear René,
I couldn't reproduce the error, however, I am using 4 cores (for the moment I have no access to a machine with 12 cores). Could you please try to run the job on 4 cores to see if the problem is related to the number of cores or to the compiler version? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Mihaly Kallay

It failed at the exact same spot. Then I tried without ovirt=MP2 and it still fails (the CC iterations take quite a bit longer) but in that case it gets to Spin case 22 Alpha:1 Beta:2 with 632700 excitations before it fails.

I just did run a regular CCSD calculation without a problem.

Then it is probably a compiler issue. Again, I would suggest upgrading to the last Intel version (14.0.2). We invested much work in adapting our codes to the compiler bugs of that version, and the program is rather stable with it.
You can also try the following things:
1) Increase the memory available to the program.
2) Compile the code without OpenMP parallelization. Then, of course, the program will run on one core.
3) Since you are interested in a full CCSDTQ calculation, you don't need to run the CCSD(T) calculation (where the program crashes). That is, delete rest=2 from the input, then only the CCSDTQ calculation will be performed. Another option is to run a CCSDT calculation first, and then to perform the CCSDTQ calculation with rest=1 in the input.

Mihaly Kallay

Dear Mihaly,

I really would like to use threading, so I don't like option 2. I think option 1 is out because of cost, but I was wondering whether you think compiling with gnu compilers could work out. Or would it be possible for you to distribute an OMP binary version with statically linked libraries?

Regarding 3) I started to go down that way starting with a CCSD calculation followed by CCSDT and rest=1. Things seem to be going along (still at the CC iterations stage), but I do get the message from xmrcc (for Si4Li isomers that have are C1, I didn't get it for another one that has Cs symmetry):

The number of active orbitals has been changed!
It is dangerous to restart the program!

Just before mrcc kicks in and goes ahead.

By the way, not sure whether that has anything to do with it, but I compiled the mrcc.2014-07-10 version.

Cheers,
René

PS is the output from the program buffered? It seems that it often takes a while before the output file is update (usually with the output for several CC iterations at the same time).

Dear René,
We have created statically linked binaries, please find them in the download area.
I wouldn't recommend the GNU compiler, the GNU-compiled executables are rather slow.
The output is not buffered, the I/O buffers are flushed in each iteration.
