CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear all,

I'm trying to run a CASPT2 calculation after running a RASSCF for an S = 6 multiplicity. The CASPT2 I want to run is for three groups of states however, the CASPT2 aborts. Can someone give me a hint about what the problem could be?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

It seems you're using an old syntax with "groups". This is no longer supported, because fundamentally it didn't work as intended. The XMUL syntax is now the same as for MULT, so you either do a single calculation with all 21 states or three separate calculations each with:

XMUL = 11 ; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

XMUL = 7 ; 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

XMUL = 3 ; 19 20 21

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear Ignacio, I tried running the CASPT2 calculation as you described, but I'm getting this error:

Multi-State initialization phase begins for group   1

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

That looks like a missing or inconsistent integral file. Did you run everything from scratch (GATEWAY + SEWARD + ...)?

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear Ignacio, thanks for the response.

I ran the SEWARD module before. Is it necessary to run GATEWAY?

If so, then this might be the issue.

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

It depends on how you run it. Everything done by GATEWAY can be done by SEWARD, but things may be weird if you don't run with a clean scratch directory. If the problem persists, show a full reproducible input file.

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

I ran it with a clean scratch directory, but I'll double-check as soon as I can.

Again, thanks for your support!

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear Ignacio,

I've ran the calculation once again, making sure the scratch directory was fine, but I still get the same error. This is the input file:

Maybe it's a problem with your compilation, or with the hardware or settings you're using. If you're running on a cluster, make sure the scratch directory (WorkDir) is in a local storage for the node running the calculation, and not in a network-shared storage.

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear Ignacio, thanks for the support.

I'm running this code on my own computer, so the scratch directory is local. Could running the code using 16 processes cause any trouble?

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

I tried on another computer and 16 processes and different compilation and still have the same issue. I also keep the scratch directory before and after calculations and still get the same error. I have no idea what is wrong...

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Well, I tried in serial, and with 2 processes, and it worked with both. As far as i know, the main use of running CASPT2 in parallel is using resources (memory, disk) from several nodes. If you are running in a single node, running with more that 1 process will probably not result in much benefit. Try with fewer processes (1, 2, 4), hopefully it will work and you'll see if it's worth at all.

Re: CASPT2 calculation for multiple states

Dear Ignacio, I have tried to run the calculation using a single core, and I still got the same error. To test whether the compilation and computer were the problems, what I did is to install Openmolcas on another computer and ran the verification suit (pymolcas verify). I got some errors for the CASPT2 module:

group grayzone from: /home/parallels/OpenMolcas/test/grayzone
3:grayzone:832 Failed! (scf)
3:grayzone:834 Skipped!
3:grayzone:898 Failed! (caspt2)
----------

Of course, any calculation fails.

I also ran the verification for antheolder version of Openmolcas (the first computer I tried to run the CASPT2 calculation) and I get the following:

additional:216 Failed! (caspt2)     
Runngrayzone:834 Skipped!               
grayzone:898 Failed! (caspt2)     
************************************************************************
A total of 2 test(s) failed, with 1 critical failure(s).
************************************************************************
Please check the directory:
  test/failed
for the .out/.err files of the failed tests,
and check the submit directory:
  test/tmp
for the working directories of the last run.

Are these errors related to my installation? weird enough, most of the modules pass fine the tests.

Thank you for the support!
