This is just an update on how things turned out with openmpi-3.0.x. I compiled both EPW and openmpi with intel14. In the past, EPW crashed for both intel16 and 17. However, with intel14 and openmpi/1.8.8 , I have been getting results consistently.
The nscf.in worked with the -i argument. However, when I ran EPW with intel14/openmpi-3.0.x, I get the following error: mca_base_component_repository_open: unable to open mca_io_romio314: libgpfs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (ignored) What is interesting is that this error occurs in the middle of a long loop. Since the loop repeats over different coordinates, the error may not be coming from the gpfs library.

I just see that the application does not complain about the 'end of file while reading crystal k points'). So maybe that is the most simple solution. Thanks Edgar On 1/22/2018 1:17 PM, Edgar Gabriel wrote: after some further investigation, I am fairly confident that this is not an MPI I/O problem. The input file input_tmp.in is generated in this sequence of instructions (which is in Modules/open_close_input_file.f90) --- IF ( TRIM(input_file_) /= ' ' ) THEn ! ! copy file to be opened into input_file ! input_file = input_file_ !

Since the application is being launched e.g. with mpirun -np 64 ../bin/pw.x -npool 64 <nscf.in >nscf.out the data comes from nscf.in. I simply do not know enough about IO forwarding do be able to tell why we do not see the entire file, but one interesting detail is that if I run it in the debugger, the input_tmp.in is created correctly. However, if I run it using mpirun as shown above, the file is cropped incorrectly, which leads to the error message mentioned in this email chain. Anyway, I would probably need some help here from somebody who knows the runtime better than me on what could go wrong at this point.

I can in fact reproduce your bug on my systems. 2. I can confirm that the problem occurs both with romio314 and ompio. I *think* the issue is that the input_tmp.in file is incomplete. In both cases (ompio and romio) the end of the file looks as follows (and its exactly the same for both libraries): gabriel@crill-002:/tmp/gabriel/qe-6.2.1/QE_input_files<mailto:gabriel@crill-002:/tmp/gabriel/qe-6.2.1/QE_input_files>> tail -10 input_tmp.in 0.66666667 0.50000000 0.83333333 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.50000000 0.91666667 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.00000000 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.08333333 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.16666667 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.25000000 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.33333333 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.41666667 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.50000000 5.787037e-04 0.66666667 0.58333333 0.58333333 5 which is what I *think* causes the problem. 3. I tried to find where input_tmp.in is generated, but haven't completely identified the location. However, I could not find MPI file_write(_all) operations anywhere in the code, although there are some MPI_file_read(_all) operations. 4. I can confirm that the behavior with Open MPI 1.8.x is different. input_tmp.in looks more complete (at least it doesn't end in the middle of the line). The simulation does still not finish for me, but the bug reported is slightly different, I might just be missing a file or something from pw_readschemafile : error # 1 xml data file not found Since I think input_tmp.in is generated from data that is provided in nscf.in, it might very well be something in the MPI_File_read(_all) operation that causes the issue, but since both ompio and romio are affected, there is good chance that something outside of the control of io components is causing the trouble (maybe a datatype issue that has changed from 1.8.x series to 3.0.x). 5. Last but not least, I also wanted to mention that I ran all parallel tests that I found in the testsuite (run-tests-cp-parallel, run-tests-pw-parallel, run-tests-ph-parallel, run-tests-epw-parallel ), and they all passed with ompio (and romio314 although I only ran a subset of the tests with romio314).

Since /scratch is a lustre file system, Open MPI should actually utilize romio314 for that anyway, not ompio. What I have seen however happen on at least one occasions is that ompio was still used since ( I suspect) romio314 didn't pick up correctly the configuration options. It is a little bit of a mess from that perspective that we have to pass the romio arguments with different flag/options than for ompio, e.g. --with-lustre=/path/to/lustre/ --with-io-romio-flags="--with-file-system=ufs+nfs+lustre --with-lustre=/path/to/lustre" ompio should pick up the lustre options correctly if lustre headers/libraries are found at the default location, even if the user did not pass the --with-lustre option. I am not entirely sure what happens in romio if the user did not pass the --with-file-system=ufs+nfs+lustre but the lustre headers/libraries are found at the default location, i.e. whether the lustre adio component is still compiled or not. Anyway, lets wait for the outcome of your run enforcing using the romio314 component, and I will still try to reproduce your problem on my system.
