Hi,
You should consult the CPMD manual on how to run the program in parallel - this doesn't look like a problem in Open MPI. The error comes from MPI_ABORT being called by rank 0. As rank 0 process is the one that reads all the input data and prepares the computation I would say that the most probable reason for the crash is inconsistency in the program input. It could be that some of the parameters specified there are not compatible with running the program with 4 processes. It can also happen (at least with some DFT codes) if you try to continue a previous simulation that was performed on different number of processes. Quantum Espresso also uses similar technique to abort but at least it prints a cryptic error message before the crash :) Hope that helps!

There are two reasons this could occur: 1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init", then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination. 2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize". By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination" This may have caused other processes in the application to be terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1]+ Exit 231 /usr/local/bin/mpirun -np 4 ./cpmd.x 1-h2-wave.inp > 1-h2-wave.out ============================================================================ ========================== I am unable to find out the reason of that error. Please help. My Open-MPI version is 1.6. With regards Abhra Paul
