castep多核运算的问题
|
||
|
大家好，我有一台服务器，cpu为至强clovertown双路四核，每个核心频率是2ghz，内存667，4条，单条1g，操作系统装过2003中文版，sp1和sp2，也装过英文版sp1，2008英文版sp1 我尝试着运行tutorial里面的co分子adsorption在pb表面，一个核心运行很正常，1个小时就有结果，可是8个核心就总是失败，出现的问题也是千奇百怪： 1）进程castep，共八个，可是运行一会儿以后，自动减少到5个，有一次甚至减少到1个，内存无释放，有时任务失败，有时一直运算，但结果遥遥无期 2）cpu利用率在开始计算时为满负荷，经过1到5分钟，降到1~3%，内存没有释放，过10分钟左右，任务失败 3）尝试改变核心数目，发现1到3个都可以正常运行得到结果，超过3个就失败 4）还有n多错误，其中出现最多一个（每次都是在第一个点时出现），代码如下： *Warning* max. SCF cycles performed but system has not reached the groundstate. Current total energy, E = -5951.893478460 eV Current free energy (E-TS) = -5951.990514506 eV (energies not corrected for finite basis set) NB est. 0K energy (E-0.5TS) = -5951.941996483 eV **************************************************************************** Warning: electronic minimisation did not converge when finding ground state. **************************************************************************** Writing model to 1.check Error in geom_get_forces - electronic_minimisation of current_cell failed Error in geom_get_forces - electronic_minimisation of current_cell failed Error in geom_get_forces - electronic_minimisation of current_cell failed Error in geom_get_forces - electronic_minimisation of current_cell failed [1] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !

HINT - if convergence fails try switching symmetry OFF BFGS: Warning - trial step suggests complex energy landscape in which simple line minimization will fail. - This is usually an indication that the forces/streses are not accurate enough. Consider increasing the cutoff energy and/or the electronic convergence tolerance. - Proceeding with a bisection search to find root instead. Warning: There are no empty bands for at least one kpoint and spin; this may slow the convergence and/or lead to an inaccurate groundstate. If this warning persists, you should consider increasing nextra_bands and/or reducing smearing_width in the param file. Recommend using nextra_bands of 14 to 29. BFGS: Warning - Repeated consecutive reset of inverse Hessian BFGS: without satisfying convergence criteria which BFGS: looks like BFGS has run out of search directions. BFGS: Warning - Lets try allowing some uphill steps and see if BFGS: we can get around this barrier. BFGS: Warning - It is possible that the system may now converge to BFGS: a stationary point OTHER than the desired minimum. BFGS: Hint - this may be an indication that either: BFGS: a) you are using a poor guess at geom_frequency_est BFGS: and/or geom_modulus_est, or BFGS: b) you are using unrealistic convergence criteria. BFGS: Suggest therefore that you consider changing them! 等等，就不一一列出了 我的问题是，为何单核1个小时就能算出来的project，多核要么不能运算，要么运算起来比单核还要慢得多？是不是多核并行处理的时候数据交换有问题啊？ 谢谢，不知道描叙清楚了没有  |

多个cpu运行的话，容易出错。只要其中一个进程出错，计算就不会有结果 此时其他进程仍在运行，这可能就是为什么1个cpu1个小时算完，多cpu运行算很久没有结果的原因。 另外，在多个cpu运行过程中，上面还有很多warning信息 1。HINT - if convergence fails try switching symmetry OFF 这里可能是限制对称性，导致不好收敛，或者给原子设置了constrain，有时候收敛困难，可以在计算的时候去掉symmetry，试试看。 2。BFGS: Warning - trial step suggests complex energy landscape in which simple line minimization will fail. 平面波cutoff设置可能过小。 3。empty band空带数不足，如果体系是金属性的话，不容易收敛。 |
