[FLASH-USERS] SIGSEGV 174 error in Flash 4.5

To all,

I also wanted to point out that I experimented this weekend in an attempt to figure out this SIGSEGV 174 error, and I have uncovered another one that occurs in an entirely different part of the FLASH code. It appears to occur in the Guard Cell code. I am not sure if this error is related to my original error or not, but I will post about it here.

 

I found that the error I list below occurs whenever I attempt to start a new simulation with my lasslab 3D deck. Experimenting with this error, I have noticed that the time this error occurs in the simulation appears to be a function of the number of blocks in my problem (nblockx, nblocky, nblockz), and the refinement level. 

 

I searched other posts I found some issues with guard cells in Flash 4.3 that were solved utilizing the –O0 optimization flag. Unfortunately, that does not work here. Has anyone seen this error before?

Hi Ryan,

I have over 15 TB of free space; so unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I do not have a space problem. 

 

If I restart from a check point, the code seems to crash only when it writes. This is highly suspicious. I will try your suggestions and get back to you.

Hi Chris,

 

I've seen plenty of segfaults though I haven't seen one happen during I/O before. Could you check if your cluster ran out of disk? (E.g., run "df -h") It is very odd if you were writing checkpoint files perfectly fine earlier and nothing changed and it suddenly stopped working. If you restart from the checkpoint before the issue does it crash at the same point or randomly later on? If it crashes at the same point, then you could use DDT (parallel debugging tool) or litter io_xfer_mesh_dataset.c with "printf" statements to localize the error (you might have to put "#include <stdio.h>" at the top of the file (that is, the version of the file you'd copy from object to your problem directory to preserve the original)).

 

Best,

--------

Ryan

To all,

 

I am experiencing a SIGSEGV 174 error that I cannot seem to figure it out. 

 

I have been running the lasslab example (in 3D) which has been modified for my purposes. The simulation runs great, and happily dumps restart and plot data files for a long time. However, after some time, FLASH decides to write a restart dump and suddenly crashes due to a SIGSEGV 174 error (placed below). 

 

I am running:

Flash 4.5

Intel compliers and mpi (2018)

HDF 1.8.13

Hypre 2.11.2

 

My cluster runs Centos 7. 

 

The error is as follows:

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
