[Pw_forum] QE with ESSL on BlueGene

2007-11-14 Thread Dr Brent Walker
Hi all, Does anyone know whether QE has been used successfully with the IBM ESSL libraries on the Blue Gene L architecture (running linux)? Google unfortunately hasn't provided me with much in relation to this. I have spent some time trying to get QE (well really PWscf) running on such a machine

Dear all I have a question related to this problem. I am interested in the study of charged clusters. If I understand well, due to to the periodicity of the plane wave codes one has to substract the correct "background" in order to keep the energy from going to infinity.. I would like to compare

The Makov-Payne correction (assume_isolated flag in &electrons) corrects for the leading term in the cluster-backgound interaction . This should reduce the size of the supercell needed, which should however be large and cheched for conergence. stefano Cyrille Barreteau wrote: > Dear all > > I h

Hi Axel, Thanks very much for your insightful comments. Just before seeing your email I actually managed to get PWscf going on our BG/L. I found it was crashing deep inside a call to the "dgetri" routine (called in invmat.f90) which is provided by essl. Without the source for the implementation o

Ralph, I agree with your comment, except for the part where you imply that spin-orbit effects are of little relevance. They are very relevant to many people. I can name at least three or four :) In fact, it was by investigating a spin-orbit-induced effect (the so-called anomalous Hall ef

Dear Cyrille, if you are interested in this problem, you might want to have a look at http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.4647 , and in particular at Fig 5. The published Makov-Payne correction is actually incorrect in the charge*quadrupole term. nicola Cyrille Barreteau wrote:
