Do your | | own testing! More info at https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/NCORE | | Unfortunately you need to use the default for GW and RPA | | calculations (for HF NCORE is supported but not extensively tested | | yet). | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | ----> ADVICE to this user running VASP <---- | | | | You have a (more or less) 'large supercell' and for larger cells it | | might be more efficient to use real-space projection operators. | | Therefore, try LREAL= Auto in the INCAR file. | | Mind: For very accurate calculation, you might also keep the | | reciprocal projection scheme (i.e. LREAL=.FALSE.). | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LDA part: xc-table for Pade appr. of Perdew ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | W W AA RRRRR N N II N N GGGG !!! | | W W A A R R NN N II NN N G G !!! | | W W A A R R N N N II N N N G !!! | | W WW W AAAAAA RRRRR N N N II N N N G GGG ! | | WW WW A A R R N NN II N NN G G | | W W A A R R N N II N N GGGG !!! | | | | The number of bands has been changed from the values supplied in | | the INCAR file.
