Abinit 6.8.2 elphon5 case fails

Post by nandaloo » Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:37 am

Hi

I've set up Abinit 6.8.2 on my ubuntu 10.04 64bit system with MPI and CUDA enabled. It compiles and builds without errors, also almost all internal tests (make tests_acc) and (make tests_paral) run successful. Just one fails:

Code: Select all

./tutorespfn/tmp-test_Linux_20111004/report:
Case_elphon_5            failed (too large absolute error : 0.143740000000001 , accepted 2.0e-4 )


If I look at the out file and compare with the reference file, there appears a significant difference the first time at these value: (<,> indicate the diff of course...)

Code: Select all

 Output of the linewidths for the first point of each segment. Linewidths are given in Hartree.
 Q point =    0.000000E+00    0.000000E+00    0.000000E+00   isppol =    1
 Mode number    Frequency (Ha)  Linewidth (Ha)  Lambda(q,n)
<        1        0.000000E+00    3.812308E-22    0.000000E+00
<        2        0.000000E+00   -6.022120E-23    0.000000E+00
<        3        0.000000E+00    4.213812E-22    0.000000E+00

As I'm a system administrator I have very little understanding of the simulation itself. So I'd really appreciate any hint.
Is this significant? What's going wrong? ...

I checked the "Known_problem" file for anything similar, but there was nothing.

If this is the wrong section of the forum, please tell me as well, however I figured elphon is a DFT method, so I put it here.

Thanks a lot for your time and help
