[Rings-code-news] RINGS Runtime Fail

[Stefan B. <st...@em...>]

Dear Developers,

I'm getting segmentation faults when trying to carry-out rings analysis on
large systems ( > 10,000 atoms). I presume that the RINGS code was
primarily developed for small Ab-initio MD simulations but is there a
fundamental reason why larger systems would fail to run? This only happens
during the rings analysis other options such as RDF, angles, and bonds
execute without issues. Although probably not too revealing; below is the
error from RINGS:


***************************** Rings *****************************

*                    S.P. rings + homopolar bonds*

*              => Allocation of memory complete <= *

*[Acer-V5-572G:08497] Failing at address: 0x102656dc*


I've used both Intel and gnu compilers, no difference.

Any help is most appreciated,
Stefan
