About VASP run problem

[p00380563]

I have a error when I run VASP where i assign the -np 22, i try 21 is OK. I am sure i allocated enough cpu cores to mckernel, can someone tell me the reason?

hareware: arm server: 128 cores; software: centos7.6 + openmpi 4.0.5 + mckernel 1.7

Error as follow: _[root@localhost VASP_bench_pt]# mpirun -np 22 --allow-run-as-root -x OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 /root/sysroot/bin/mcexec -n 22 ../../bin/vasp_std

There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 22
slots that were requested by the application:

/root/sysroot/bin/mcexec

Either request fewer slots for your application, or make more slots
available for use._

Hi, why are you booting on 107 CPUs? If you insist on running 22 ranks it would be better to boot McKernel using a multiple of 22 cores, e.g., 88? For example, you could try mcreboot -c 40-127

In general we prefer to run on round number of CPU cores (preferably power of 2). Also, it's better to leave a few cores for Linux from each NUMA node and make sure that the McKernel cores are also balanced across NUMA domains.

hi, begerofi, as your advice, i try boot 4 cores of NUMA0 for mckernel. The mckernel information: [root@localhost sysroot]# ./sbin/mcreboot.sh -c 12-15 -m 50000m@0 [root@localhost sysroot]# ./sbin/ihkosctl 0 kmsg [ 0]: boot_param_size: 65536 [ 0]: %: GICv3 [ 0]: setup_arm64 done.

And i test HPL, but there is no any output , i think cpu is hang.

_[root@localhost Linux_Arm]# mpirun -np 4 --allow-run-as-root /root/sysroot/bin/mcexec -n 4 ./xhpl

I try mcstat command, but the output is no change for three times: [root@localhost sysroot]# ./bin/mcstat ------- memory (GB) ------- ------- tsc ------ --- thread --- total current max system user current max 48.825 0.147 0.147 39 3 12 12 cpuacct_usage_percpu[0] = 5935640 cpuacct_usage_percpu[1] = 5942580 cpuacct_usage_percpu[2] = 5823800 cpuacct_usage_percpu[3] = 5974470 cpuacct_usage_percpu[4] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[5] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[6] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[7] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[8] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[9] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[10] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[11] = 0 [root@localhost sysroot]# ./bin/mcstat ------- memory (GB) ------- ------- tsc ------ --- thread --- total current max system user current max 48.825 0.147 0.147 39 3 12 12 cpuacct_usage_percpu[0] = 5935640 cpuacct_usage_percpu[1] = 5942580 cpuacct_usage_percpu[2] = 5823800 cpuacct_usage_percpu[3] = 5974470 cpuacct_usage_percpu[4] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[5] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[6] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[7] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[8] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[9] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[10] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[11] = 0 [root@localhost sysroot]# ./bin/mcstat ------- memory (GB) ------- ------- tsc ------ --- thread --- total current max system user current max 48.825 0.147 0.147 39 3 12 12 cpuacct_usage_percpu[0] = 5935640 cpuacct_usage_percpu[1] = 5942580 cpuacct_usage_percpu[2] = 5823800 cpuacct_usage_percpu[3] = 5974470 cpuacct_usage_percpu[4] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[5] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[6] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[7] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[8] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[9] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[10] = 0 cpuacct_usage_percpu[11] = 0

i don't know what happen, maybe something i configure is wrong?

And i stop mckernel: [root@localhost sysroot]# ./sbin/mcstop+release.sh error: destroying OS instance 0 error: destroying OS instance 0 error: destroying OS instance 0 error: destroying OS instance 0 error: destroying OS instance 0 error: destroying LWK instance 0 failed [root@localhost sysroot]#
