Tutorial on basic parallelism

Post by EchoTheCat » Sat Mar 21, 2020 6:58 pm

Hi,
I'm following the tutorial on basic parallelism and the timing on my output file isn't matching what it suggests on the tutorial (I'm getting cpu = 16.6 and wall = 9.0 instead of cpu=28.3 and wall=28.3). After running the command mpirun -n 2 abinit < tbasepar_1.files >&tbasepar_1.log, a file __ABI_MPIABORTFILE__ is created with the following error message:

--- !ERROR
src_file: m_dtfil.F90
src_line: 1436
mpi_rank: 1
message: |
Fortran open returned iostat 2 while opening: /scratch/user/tbasepar_1_LOG_0001
IOMSG: Cannot open file '/scratch/user/tbasepar_1_LOG_0001': No such file or directory
...



Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

Dear EchoTheCat,
The fact that the timing is not the same could simply due to the fact that the reference timing proposed is from a different CPU/architecture?
Regarding the error message it is asking that a file it is supposed to read is not present and so it crashes.
Best wishes,
Eric
