Strange Output Error

#1 Post by des » Fri Nov 25, 2005 8:26 pm

Hello everyone,
I use the same input files for different types of calculations. But I got this strange output file which I have ever seen before. Is there any one who can tell me where the problem is ?
I used INCAR file as
ISYM = 2
PREC= High
ENCUT= 400
ALGO= Very_Fast
ISMEAR=0
SIGMA=0.1
NSW=200
IBRION= 2
ISIF=2
LREAL= Auto
ROPT= -0.0004 -0.0004 -0.0004 -0.0004

----------------------------------------------------

Strange Output Error

#2 Post by admin » Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:07 am

most probably, the error is caused by the tty-error
( bad file descriptor .... , no job control.... )
all vasp-related job.stdout messages are written the num prob in between the VASP-output lines messages seem to be job-related.
please check if the error is reproducible on your system.

A very quick aside: The no tty access message is ubiquitous. Most clusters display this type of message for batch jobs. It is not an error, as you don't need job control for a non-interactive job.

The problem seems ok when I change ALGO= Very_Fast to ALGO= Normal. But I don't really know why .
