Re: Symmetry in ABINIT

Dear Mikhail, Note that Abinit can take advantage of spatial symmetries as well as time-reversal symmetry. Actually this is the default behaviour for k-point sampling (kptopt 1) while kptopt 4 allows one to remove time-reversal symmetry when generating the IBZ. See also m K and K' are connected by T...

Re: MKMEM input variable problem

mkmem is now an internal variable, it's not possible to set its value in the input file.
Use paral_kgb = 1 and nkpkpt, npband, npfft to decrease the memory requirements when
the number of MPI processes is greater than the number of k-points in the IBZ

Can you try to set `ulimit -s unlimited` before running cut3d? If the error persists, change cut3d to enforce Fortran-IO (see patch below), recompile with `make` and rerun diff --git a/src/83_cut3d/m_cut3d.F90 b/src/83_cut3d/m_cut3d.F90 index 3004f171..81e67c84 100644 --- a/src/83_cut3d/m_cut3d.F90 ...

Re: Test the performance of abinit8 SCF too slow

A few comments on your test. First of all, your calculation is done with 4 k-points in the IBZ and the default eigenvalue solver (conjugate-gradient). The CG eigensolver is very robust but the parallelism is limited to nkpt * nsppol MPI processors. Note that the code does not stop if you run it with...

Re: SCF convergence problem with one anion in a box

I would suggest to look at the eigenvalues to understand what's happening.
If there are degeneracies, you may try to use tsmear and a "metallic occupation scheme.
