Slepc followed by Haydock solver

Post by harrier_class » Mon Aug 17, 2026 10:01 am

Dear developors, maintainers, and fellow-users,

I have been working with adosrption systrem [nbnds =3600], for TDDFT in the reciprocal space using Yambo 5.0 [compiled with gcc-based compilers], I was using this command

Code: Select all

yambo -o b -k alda -y d 
However, with increasing band ranges, I see that its no longer possible to have full diagonalization of the matrix, so I switched to haydock solver.

Code: Select all

yambo -o b -k alda -y h 
Since, we would also like to have the excitonic analysis at the several peaks, now, I would also like to the claculation using Slepc solver. I tried the following:

Code: Select all

yambo -o b -k alda -y s
However, I dont see the input variables, [which I think is important to tell Slepc solver, which states to look out for]

Code: Select all

BSSNEig= 4
BSSEnTarget= 2.00 eV  


Can you please tell me if I am doing anything wrong in the process?

Dear developers, maintainers, and fellow-users,

I figured out the problem. My current Yambo code was not compiled with the slepc support.

So, I updated the modules with petsc and slepc and changed the configure command to also have --enable-slepc-linalg

Code: Select all

module load gcc/11.5.0
#module load openmpi/4.1.3-gcc11.5.0
module load hdf5/1.14.5-gcc-ompi
module load netcdf-c/4.8.1-gcc-ompi
module load netcdf-fortran/4.6.1-gcc-ompi
module load mkl/2024.2.2
module load petsc/3.23.4-gcc11.5.0-openmpi-mkl
module load slepc/3.23.2-gcc11.5.0-openmpi-mkl
openmpi module is commented out, since petsc/3.23.4-gcc11.5.0-openmpi-mkl loads openmpi/4.1.8



Code: Select all

./configure \
  CC=gcc FC=gfortran F77=mpifort MPICC=mpicc MPIFC=mpifort MPIF77=mpifort \
  --with-blas-libs="-L${MKLROOT}/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -lgomp -lpthread -lm -ldl" \
  --with-lapack-libs="-L${MKLROOT}/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -lgomp -lpthread -lm -ldl" \
  --with-scalapack-libs="-L${MKLROOT}/lib -lmkl_scalapack_lp64" \
  --with-blacs-libs="-L${MKLROOT}/lib -lmkl_blacs_openmpi_lp64" \
  --with-fft-includedir="${MKLROOT}/include" \
  --with-fft-libs="-L${MKLROOT}/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -lgomp -lpthread -lm -ldl" \
  --enable-par-linalg --enable-mpi --enable-open-mp --enable-msgs-comps --enable-time-profile --enable-memory-profile --enable-hdf5-par-io --enable-slepc-linalg


I get the following error

Code: Select all

   28 | #include <petsc/finclude/petscvec.h>
      |  1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fatal Error: petsc/finclude/petscsys.h: No such file or directory

Can you please help me troubleshoot?
