[CPMD-list] complex hydrocarbon WF optimization

Amit,

 without  discussing details of your system -  I find some setups  of your 
  input quite strange -

you are using vdb pseudo with a cutoff of 60 Ry  -   if you can afford 
this cutoff you can use 
norm conserving pseudos where  you can take advantages of most of the CPMD 
features,
having a faster  time to solution- 

If you want to go on with   VDB pseudos -
 I got your test converging with cutoff  35 , dual  5   and pcg minimize -


Best Regards,

Alessandro

[CPMD-list] complex hydrocarbon WF optimization






Hi all,
I have a 300 atom system of hydrocarbons running on 16 nodes. I am 
having problems with WF optimization using CPMD.  The initial geometry 
guess comes from classical MD runs.  The problems is that the DIIS 
resets frequently. I tried setting a higher reset value using NO_RESET, 
still does not help.

I also reduced the  system size to 200 and then 100 atoms. Still I 
cannot optimize the WF. Please suggest.

I am attaching the input file.

thanks in advance

amit
