Hello,

I have successfully been running NWChem 6.5 for a few years on a HPC system at my university. After a recent upgrade to the HPC I was able to run a few successful jobs but then have been getting the following error:


In the log file from NWChem gave the error:



Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code.. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.




mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

 Process name: [[54090,1],0]
Exit code: 2
—————————————————————————————————————


My error file contained the following:

At line 5074 of file geom_hnd.F (unit = 32, file = '/lustre/groups/millergrp/scratch03/bp_Hbp.c')
Fortran runtime error: Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown



The following 14 jobs (the problem with running an array) gave a variation of the same error message.


None of the files written to lustre or the regular drive are geom_hnd.F It does appear that the geom_hnd.F file has something to do with gfortran that NWChem is using based on my previous searches of the NWChem forums.

Any insight as to what might be causing this error would be very appreciated, or any evidence that upgrading to NWChem 6.8 would solve the problem might be some incentive for the HPC center to upgrade!

Here is my complete input file

Could you try to set scratch_dir to a different filesystem other than /lustre and see if you get the same error?

I have changed the scratch directory location and it seems to have been running successfully for the past few days.

Thanks!
