QA kinda failing


Clicked A Few Times
I've built patched NWChem 6.6 with Intel 2017.4 (using ifort instead of gfortran for mpif90), configured for qm only.

As I run the QA tests (they're still going, on 2 nodes/24 ppn), I have 160 passes and 35 failures. The failures that I've looked at differ a little from the reference data, but not so much that I'd assume a total failure. For example, the cu2_m06-l test gives
< Total DFT energy = -392.32794
---
> Total DFT energy = -392.32802


So, not affecting "chemical accuracy," but still not passing validation.

Is there an option that should be passed to the Intel 2017.4 fortran compiler to tighten up the numbers?
If not, are these numbers considered unofficially OK?

Thanks; Chris

Could you provide more details about the ifort version you have been using? What is the output of the command

ifort -V

Hi Edo,

Sure, it's
-bash-4.2$ ifort -V

the cu2_m06-l discrepancy you reported is due to the following patch.

http://nwchemgit.github.io/download.php?f=Xccvs98.patch.gz
Since the m06-l results are affected by this change, we should have update the QA test output file (we plan to do it for the upcoming release).
If you can upload your output files, I can have a look at them.

Thanks for the feedback.
Edo

How do I upload on this site? I tried the little "Upload file" link in the lower right corner while editing, but that is apparently limited to a group called "Bureaucrats"?

Yes, only "Bureaucrats" are allowed to upload files to this website. Could you please use any of the public upload website?
