Gridpacks unable to generate LHE

Hi,

I do not have enough cpu to generate such gridpack locally. Can you put it somewhere online such that I can
download it and test it locally?

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
I uploaded the gridpack file on:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FuiYVgDZxY-FaBFTnkwhNrAgg1aQFgYF/view?usp=sharing
it's about 62MB size and you can check it.

Thanks.
Kaili

Can you double check the link.

I thought originally that the problem was my network but I have tried from a third network today and it still fails to download.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

This is still running since more than a week on my laptop.
Still waiting for the code to hit the crash.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Oliver,
sorry for the inconvienience.
For the production step it works fine. after a very long run it produces a LHE and gridpacks.
My problem is for the first run the LHE works well, but when I want to use the gridpacks to regenearate LHEs it cause problems.
The gridpacks I used is https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6mwngvtvv74zqb/wwrr_gridpack_50.tar.gz?dl=0
You can check this gridpacks to save time, I thought?

Hi,

The run finally finishes and I was actually able to reproduce the run.
The part of the code were the script was originated was completely removed in the recent version of the code.
So since it takes more than a week to run your gridpack and to get to the bug, I think that the best would be to first try with the latest version of the code to
check if the problem is still present. Can you do that?
I'm afraid that investigating such bug on 2.5.4 is quite irrelevant.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi all,

if there is some still looking at this problem, I'd say the problem sovled.
At first when you extract the gridpack file, the webpage says you can compile and run ./bin/clean4grid
Then after these the error will occur.
But if you don't compile and clean4grid, just directly run the run.sh, the LHE can be generated.

I don't know the principle but somehow it works (It's been a time and I remembered this problem today)
Thanks all the enthusiastic experts.
