HI users,
I am running single SCF calculations,

48 atoms got optimized fine. when i did with 72 atoms, its giving following error.


0:0:diis_driver: error creating ga:: -1
(rank:0 hostname:node31 pid:29821):ARMCI DASSERT fail. ../../ga-5-2/armci/src/common/armci.c:ARMCI_Error():208 cond:0
Last System Error Message from Task 0:: Numerical result out of range
application called MPI_Abort(comm=0x84000001, -1) - process 0



RAM is 54GB, I am using direct in SCF calculation.

Can anyone help me


Thanks

The most likely fix is to increase the amount of global memory in your input file
http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release62:Top-level#MEMORY
or as, alternative, decrease the number of matrices diis stores.
The default number of matrices is 10 and you might want to decrease it to 4.

dft
  convergence diis 4
end

Thanks edo,

second solution, wont it effect the performance, if so, by how much approx?

for the first one, what should be more efficient amount of memory, if RAM is 50 GB.

syntax for specifying 10 GB, memory 10240 mb, Is this correct?


Thanks
Karteek
