Dear Developers

I have checked the forum, the XNORM error is tough,

normev.F90:85:BUG

normev:
Starting xnorm should be close to one (tol is tol6).
However, for state number 8, xnorm= 1.012190E+00
It might be that your LAPACK library has not been correctly installed.
Action : contact ABINIT group.

I am using intel ifort 11-064, also tried ifort 12, and 13, this error still comes out in V7.2 and V7.6,

could you recommend some compiler and mkl with version?

Thanks

Hi,

ifort 11.x is no longer supported

on the other side, abinit 7.8 has been tested with the following three configurations with success :

Code: Select all

ifort >= 12.1.5 with mkl 10.3  ( -O2 -xhost )
ifort >= 13.1.3.192 with mkl 11.0  ( -O2 -xhost )
ifort >= 14.0.3 with mkl 11.0    ( -O3 -xhost )

we use fft from mkl

regards

Dear jbeuken;

Thanks very much for the information !

by the way, have you tested the large cell structures (like 50x50x50 angstrom)?

the XNORM error always appears in such conditions.

Thanks

I don't known : I'm just a poor "Computer Scientist" :lol:

I manage the test farm but I don't create tests of the test suite…

the tests of the test suite are used to cover the functionalities of ABINIT not to test some "production" tests and, of course, it's a pity...
but, the fastest bot takes 40 mins to complete the 600 tests…

then, if you want, you can send me your input file…
