DMRGSCF and DMRG energies differ / Convergence problems

Good day everyone!

We were forced to migrate on a new cluster system and since that day we have severe problems using DMRG and QCMacquis. We already solved some compiler problems and problems with OpenBlas and we managed to link mkl libraries, so we were very happy that the &RASSCF module did not quit with a rc=-6 error. The latest version is based on the following commands:

  • module load gcc/8.3.1 boost/1.73.0 hdf5/1.8.17 gsl/2.6  git/2.31.0 cmake/3.17.1

  • source /shared/apps/intel/2020.1/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64

  • git clone https://gitlab.com/Molcas/OpenMolcas.git

  • cmake -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=gfortran -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DDMRG=ON -DOPENMP=ON -DLINALG="MKL" -DHDF5=ON /path/to/openmolcas/source

  • At the following location «Build files have been written to...» the make command executed once again

  • an executable version of pymolcas is made

However, now we are facing the problem that apparently the DMRGSCF and DMRG energies differ and no convergence can be achieved while this was possible for the very same system on the previous cluster.

For another system we do not find that the DMRGSCF and DMRG energies differ, but we still cannot achieve convergence even for a (2,2) CAS.

We would be entirely grateful for any ideas where the problems are coming from and in the best case how to solve them.
