<H3>9. Errors
</H3>
<P>This section describes the various kinds of errors you can encounter
when using LAMMPS.
</P>
9.1 <A HREF = "#9_1">Common problems</A><BR>
9.2 <A HREF = "#9_2">Reporting bugs</A><BR>
9.3 <A HREF = "#9_3">Error & warning messages</A> <BR>

<A NAME = "9_1"></A><H4>9.1 Common problems
</H4>
<P>If two LAMMPS runs do not produce the same answer on different
machines or different numbers of processors, this is typically not a
bug. In theory you should get identical answers on any number of
processors and on any machine. In practice, numerical round-off can
cause slight differences and eventual divergence of molecular dynamics
phase space trajectories within a few 100s or few 1000s of timesteps.
However, the statistical properties of the two runs (e.g. average
energy or temperature) should still be the same.
</P>
<P>If the <A HREF = "velocity.html">velocity</A> command is used to set initial atom
velocities, a particular atom can be assigned a different velocity
when the problem on different machines. Obviously, this means the
phase space trajectories of the two simulations will rapidly diverge.
See the discussion of the <I>loop</I> option in the
<A HREF = "velocity.html">velocity</A> command for details.
</P>
<P>A LAMMPS simulation typically has two stages, setup and run. Most
LAMMPS errors are detected at setup time; others like a bond
stretching too far may not occur until the middle of a run.
</P>
<P>LAMMPS tries to flag errors and print informative error messages so
you can fix the problem. Of course LAMMPS cannot figure out your
physics mistakes, like choosing too big a timestep, specifying invalid
force field coefficients, or putting 2 atoms on top of each other! If
you find errors that LAMMPS doesn't catch that you think it should
flag, please send an email to the
<A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/authors.html">developers</A>.
</P>
<P>If you get an error message about an invalid command in your input
script, you can determine what command is causing the problem by
looking in the log.lammps file or using the <A HREF = "echo.html">echo command</A>
to see it on the screen. For a given command, LAMMPS expects certain
arguments in a specified order. If you mess this up, LAMMPS will
often flag the error, but it may read a bogus argument and assign a
value that is valid, but not what you wanted. E.g. trying to read the
string "abc" as an integer value and assigning the associated variable
a value of 0.
</P>
<P>Generally, LAMMPS will print a message to the screen and exit
gracefully when it encounters a fatal error. Sometimes it will print
a WARNING and continue on; you can decide if the WARNING is important
or not. If LAMMPS crashes or hangs without spitting out an error
message first then it could be a bug (see <A HREF = "#9_2">this section</A>) or one
of the following cases:
</P>
<P>LAMMPS runs in the available memory a processor allows to be
allocated. Most reasonable MD runs are compute limited, not memory
limited, so this shouldn't be a bottleneck on most platforms. Almost
all large memory allocations in the code are done via C-style malloc's
which will generate an error message if you run out of memory.
Smaller chunks of memory are allocated via C++ "new" statements. If
you are unlucky you could run out of memory just when one of these
small requests is made, in which case the code will crash or hang (in
parallel), since LAMMPS doesn't trap on those errors.
</P>
<P>Illegal arithmetic can cause LAMMPS to run slow or crash. This is
typically due to invalid physics and numerics that your simulation is
computing. If you see wild thermodynamic values or NaN values in your
LAMMPS output, something is wrong with your simulation.
</P>
<P>In parallel, one way LAMMPS can hang is due to how different MPI
implementations handle buffering of messages. If the code hangs
without an error message, it may be that you need to specify an MPI
setting or two (usually via an environment variable) to enable
buffering or boost the sizes of messages that can be buffered.
</P>
<HR>
<A NAME = "9_2"></A><H4>9.2 Reporting bugs
</H4>
<P>If you are confident that you have found a bug in LAMMPS, please send
an email to the <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/authors.html">developers</A>.
</P>
<P>First, check the "New features and bug fixes" section of the <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov">LAMMPS
WWW site</A> to see if the bug has already been reported or fixed.
</P>
<P>If not, the most useful thing you can do for us is to isolate the
problem. Run it on the smallest number of atoms and fewest number of
processors and with the simplest input script that reproduces the bug.
</P>
<P>In your email, describe the problem and any ideas you have as to what
is causing it or where in the code the problem might be. We'll
request your input script and data files if necessary.
</P>
<HR>
<H4><A NAME = "9_3"></A>9.3 Error & warning Messages
</H4>
<P>These are two alphabetic lists of the <A HREF = "#error">ERROR</A> and
<A HREF = "#warn">WARNING</A> messages LAMMPS prints out and the reason why. If the
explanation here is not sufficient, the documentation for the
offending command may help. Grepping the source files for the text of
the error message and staring at the source code and comments is also
not a bad idea! Note that sometimes the same message can be printed
from multiple places in the code.
</P>

version of LAMMPS that is reading the restart file. Generally this

used by NPT could be inaccurate.
<DT><I>Temperature for NVT is style region</I>
<DD>User-assigned temperature to NVT fix has style region. Since NVT is a
Nose/Hoover formulation that tracks average properties of a collection
of atoms over time, it may be inaccurate to do this if the atoms
in the region change.
<DT><I>Temperature for temp/rescale is style region</I>
<DD>User-assigned temperature to temp/rescale fix has style region, but
the temp/rescale fix did not specify a region. This means the
temperature may be computed on a different set of atoms than are
rescaled.
<DT><I>Temperature for thermo pressure is not for group all</I>
<DD>User-assigned temperature to thermo via the thermo_modify command does
not compute temperature for all atoms. Since thermo computes a global
pressure, the kinetic energy contribution from the temperature is
assumed to also be for all atoms. Thus the pressure printed by thermo
could be inaccurate.
<DT><I>Temperature for thermo pressure is style region</I>
<DD>User-assigned temperature to thermo via the thermo_modify command has
style region. Since thermo computes a global pressure, the kinetic
energy contribution from the temperature is assumed to also be for all
atoms. Thus the pressure printed by thermo could be inaccurate.
<DT><I>Using variable equal keyword with non-current thermo</I>
<DD>The variable expression is being evaluated with a thermodynamic
quantity on a timestep when thermodynamic information may not be
current.
