Abinit 8.10.3 compiled with gnu 9.1: DFT calculation crash

Dear abinit developers,
I'm trying to run abinit to test the interface with the yambo code.

I've compiled the branch release-8-10 of gitlab.
the compilation is succesfull, however when I try to run the code it crashes with the message

Code: Select all

Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.

Backtrace for this error:

#0  0x7f34a2c5ef1f in ???
#1  0x7f34a03a0070 in ???
Attached few files (Report.log is a tar.gz file):
- config.log (two different compilations, both give th esame result)
- .out and .log of the crash (crash folder) and two .log and .out which worked with an older version of abinit (reference folder)
- input file and pseudopotentials I used

Thank you in advance.
Best,
D.

Hi Davide,
I've compiled the branch release-8-10 of gitlab.
the compilation is succesfull, however when I try to run the code it crashes with the message
little question : abinit crahes with "abinit -b" and/or with fast tests suite ?

Code: Select all

abinit -b
works fine

Code: Select all

make check
instead produces errors similar to my DFT simulation.

See below.
Complete output attached.

Re: Abinit 8.10.3 compiled with gnu 9.1: DFT calculation crash  [SOLVED]

A follow up on the topic.

I figured out that the configure and linnkig of abinit were messing up in between the loaded gnu compilers and libraries (via module load) and the pre-installed compiler and libraries on my ubuntu desktop.

Moreover I found two problems.
1) I run the configure with

Code: Select all

--with-trio-flavor="netcdf" --enable-netcdf-default
and then compiled. abinit was ginving as error

Code: Select all

--netcdf-default is on but netcdf library does not support MPI-IO. Aborting now
the linked library was however with MPI-IO support.
The message error was due to the fact that

Code: Select all

HAVE_NETCDF_MPI
was not defined by the configure
Indeed simply adding also the option

Code: Select all

--enable-mpi-io
everything worked. A simple fix would be that

Code: Select all

--enable-netcdf-default
automatically activates the MPI-IO.

2) I'm testing the variable

Code: Select all

prtkbff
Setting it to 1 in the input abinit crashes, gives an error due to a bag.
Below the patch

Code: Select all

Dear Davide,

Thank you for reaching out and for the patch. From what I see, this is already fixed in the development branch of ABINIT.

FYI, the --enable-netcdf-default option is only used for testing purposes and will be removed from the upcoming ABINIT 9.0.

Thanks Yann.

I used the --enable-netcdf-default because I needed the WFs to be printed in NETCDF format.
Is there an alternative/standard way to obtain that ?
Related, is it possible to have the WFs printed in NETCDF format without enabling parallel I/O ?

I'd like to create a page on the yambo website with the procedure to read the WFs from the abinit code (and thus which are the needed flags for the abinit configure).

Best,
D.

Dear abinit developers,
any suggestion on how to obtain wave-functions in NETCDF format without the flag --enable-netcdf-default ?

Best,
D.

I confirm that the bug in the write statement has been fixed in Abinit9.
I'd like to create a page on the yambo website with the procedure to read the WFs from the abinit code (and thus which are the needed flags for the abinit configure).
I would suggest to wait for the release of Abinit9 as several options will change at the level of the configure script.
The default output format is still Fortran binary files but one can change it by setting iomode to 3 or via --enable-netcdf-default.

It's clear that producing large WKF.nc files for Yambo will require netcdf4/hdf5 with parallel-IO support but users should pass to the configure script C/Fortran libraries that are compatible with the software stack (Fortran compiler, MPI-library).
I started to work on a tutorial to explain how to compile from source all the libs and how to pass the correct options to configure but it will take some time before having this tutorial available on the internet because we are still working on the finalization of the new build system.

Thanks, I can now start working again! I was stuck with compilation compatibility issues, all while my boss demanded that I wrote a market analysis for these houses in Cannes (because working with windows and doors is the same thing as working in the real estate market, amirite?) and it made me lose time for both... Now it's fixed though, thanks again!
