Hybrid functional trouble

#1 Post by ALarsen » Wed Apr 15, 2015 3:53 pm

Hallo all
I have been having some trouble with running hybrid functional(PBE0) calculations with VASP 5.2.11. Specifically if I set the energy cut-off manually (ENCUT=520) or if I change the precession tag to PREC = Accurate VASP crashes with a segmentation fault at the beginning. Also the tag LREAL = Auto also causes a crash.
The calculation will only run if I set PREC = Normal and ENCUT as the default. I have tried starting from a WAVECAR calculated with PBE, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I can’t seem to get the upload attachment to work on this forum. It complains about the extension. Anyway I have writing out the INCAR, KPOINT and POSCAR files below. For POTCAR I used potpaw_PBE pseudo poteintials.

Thanks.

#INCAR

1. Use proper 1st line in file KPOINTS
2. HF is only implemented for NPAR = number of nodes
3. Is your stack size large enough? (Check in forum "ulimit -s unlimited").

Setting my stack size to unlimited solved the problem, Thanks!
I was very close to trying out quantum espresso :)
