OpenMX consumes memory and dies

Dear Taisuke,

The problem is somewhat similar to this one:

http://www.openmx-square.org/forum/patio.cgi?mode=view&no=1279

The input file contains ~70 atoms, band structure calculation. OpenMX runs successfully on older AMD cluster (1 node, 48 processes per node, 4 Gb per process) but fails on a new Intel cluster (1 node, 1 process per node, 64 Gb per process). It also fails if all 16 cores are used, 4Gb per core. The makefile adjustments are similar to the example bundled with OpenMX:

vsmp (Intel Xeon SMP cluster, Xeon E5-2690 0 @ 2.90GHz)

When I log into the node I see how memory usage grows continiously with time until signal 11 is raised. Unfortunately the debugging symbols are absent, here is the error:

openmx:203644 terminated with signal 11 at PC=8330f7 SP=7fffec8a9928. Backtrace:
...

and the last record in stdout:

Num. of grids overlapping with atom 18 = 232081
Num. of grids overlapping with atom 19 = 232080
Num. of grids overlapping with atom 20 = 232157
..........
......

I may also post here the input file if you want to try to reproduce it.

Hi,

Could you show us your input file which caused the abort?
Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
