crash in mod_timing.f90

[arghyabh]

I am having similar problem for all yambo runs irrespective of system simulated and no of cpus used. Even a simple Si bulk calculation gives this error. These are not from time limit etc.

At line 229 of file mod_timing.f90
Fortran runtime error: Unexpected element '*' in format
(a,**x,a)
^

Kindly help.

Dear Arghya,
could you please provide more information?
Compilations, describe the steps you did before the crash and input/reports?
Best,
Daniele

After finishing the quantum epsresso run for scf and nscf, i did
1. p2y -S
2. yambo -i
3. mpiexec yambo
4. yambo -g n -p p
5. edited yambo.in
6. mpiexec yambo

i can restart the run , but every time I restart, it runs for some cycles and then gets killed with this error

this is how my input looks like

Dear Arghya,
please fill up your signature with your compete affiliation, in this way you do not have to remember to write it each time.

Try to specify the argument of the mpiexec script, I do not know what are the default one:
mpiexec -n #number_of_processor yambo
A possibility is that the code get confused because the number of processor are not assigned.

Nothing to do with the error but fill the variable Chimod= "". with Hartree, or build the input as yambo -p p -g n -k hartree.

Best,
Daniele
