Re: Memory use estimate in GW and BSE calculations
Hi Joe, it's good to see you again. can someone provide a rough estimate for the memory needed per processor during the screening calculation and the BSE calculation It's possible to obtain an estimate of the memory requirements by using max_ncpus > 0 in the input file. The code will print in the ma...

Hi Ryan, I'm about to embark on installation on various computers, e.g. Stampede, Maverick, Jetstream, Comet, Gordon, OSG, Bridges, etc. But every computer will have its own challenges, so it seems like it would be sweet if the abinit community shared config/install files and notes on each of these,...

Hi Marco, I have access to another cray machine and we have compiled abinit with PrgEnv-intel and PrgEnv-gnu.

It's not perfectly clear to me what you want to compute. You can use abinit and the cut3d post-processing tool to export the Bloch states and the crystalline density obtained at the end of the SCF cycle in a format that can be read by visualization software such as Vesta Xcrysden etc. This will allo...

Re: trying to install; after build, get segmentation error o [SOLVED]
Possible explanation: Your Abinit is linked against the Blas implementation provided by Mac OSx (a.k.a. veclib) The ABI of the veclib routines zdotc and cdotc is not compatible with Fortran and this causes nasty segmentation faults at the beginning of the run. Were this true, I would recommend passi...

The PAW+UPF files are not readable by abinit. We support UPF1 for norm-conserving pseudos but PAW+UPF is more difficult to handle. The internal implementation of the PAW formalism in Abinit differs from the one assumed in the PAW+UPF format and it's still not clear if one can convert the UPF data in...

Re: severe multiple parallel scf and optimization problems
We have observed similar problems when running structural optimizations on intel architectures with recent intel compilers.

However, the real error in the calculation was not the pseudopotential file, but was an incorrectly set input variable nspinor. If possible, it would be nice to catch this error when Abinit reads in the pseudopotential file by comparing the value of nspinor and the extension switch. If they are the...

Re: self-consistent GW + PAW crash
I will have a look at it.
Note, however, that for the time being it would suggest to use norm-conserving pseudos for self-consistent GW calculations.
Recent papers showed that GW with PAW requires specialised pseudopotentials in order to get accurate results.
