Dear all,

I'm having divergence problem on DFT calculation on multi-node:

If I launch on single-node, DFT calculation converge for small (56 atoms) and bigger molecules (164 atoms). On the other hand, the same input file on multi-node calculation fail for bigger molecule.

The input file is:

start pchg_trimpolys4
title "Point Charge trimpolys4"

permanent_dir /home/scurcio/qm/prova/tmp
scratch_dir /home/scurcio/qm/scratch

memory stack 2000 heap 1000 global 5000 mb

And I obtain this divergence on multiple node launch:

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Kind regards,
