a2y conversion with "large" KSS file

[elena.mol]

Dear all,
I am using abinit + yambo to calculate optical spectra of a large molecule.
I have a problem with a2y converting the KSS file (generated with abinit6.2.2). For "small" KSS files ("small" bands, cutoff, convergence treshold, ...) a2y works well, while with a KSS file generated with converged parameters it stops with something like:

DB1
==WF splitter Blocks/bands/block size (Mb)


Can anyone help me with this problem?


thanks in advance

Dear Elena, we really need more information to try to trace back the problem Can you follow the instructions given on this link providing as much info as possible ? In the worst case we will need to reproduce the problem ourselves.

Dear all,
i'm attaching a .tar (FOR_YAMBOFORUM_2.tar) containing:

* writeKSS.in, writeKSS.files: the input files used to generate the KSS file in abinit
* abinit_config.log: compilation details of the abinit version (6.2.2) i compiled and use on cineca sp6 (sp.sp6.cineca.it, the machine where i'm finding this problem with a2y); i miss the corresponding detailed information for yambo, since for this latter i'm using the standard cineca version, but for abinit i followed compilation hints given by the cineca helpdesk, so i guess the two installations should be "coherent"
* l_stderr: standard log of the a2y run which produces the error

In /gpfs/scratch/userinfm/cne0fm2s/elena, i have put an "enlarged" version of this directory (FOR_YAMBOFORUM_1), containing also some bigger files, which might be useful, but are too large to be attached (i guess), i.e.:
* the /SAVE dir produced by the a2y run
* writeKSSo_KSS: the kss file i'm using as input for a2y

let me know if you have problems in accessing them, or if there is some missing info

thanks in advance

Hi Elena, thanks for that.
I copied the KSS and managed to run a2y myself without problems through the batch,
and adding -S to split the wavefunctions. Try that.

#!/bin/bash
#
# @ job_name = molt
# @ output = $(jobid).out
# @ error = $(jobid).err
# @ wall_clock_limit = 0:10:00
# @ total_tasks = 1
# @ task_affinity=cpu(1)
# @ job_type = parallel
# @ resources = ConsumableMemory(1700Mb)
#
# @ queue

module load yambo
a2y -S -F test.KSS

Let me know if you still have problems.
