A 4-atom unit cell of ZnO can likely run on a desktop/laptop pc using PBE0, as long as you don't care too much about your hardware (desktop/laptop pc are generally not happy if you stress them for hours with codes designed mainly for workstation/HPC use). You can still find somewhere in t

It is a system error, not a code error. It might be an out of memory error. Keep in mind that in the first scf iteration you calculate usual GGA orbitals/ks_potentials and only here Using ACE for calculation of exact exchange you calculate for the first time EXX. Close to the begin

First of all it is not ZnO but CuI :-D Please *don't use PAW pseudopotentials for EXX calculations*! There is no gain and it makes the EXX part of the calculation less stable. Use norm-conserving pseudopotentials instead. Then find in the manual the variable ecutfock and reduce the cutoff

I want to do a comparison between GGA, GGA+U and PBE0. In GGA and GGA+U I used PAW pp, I don`t know if it will be right to use another type of pseudopotential, and be able to compare them because in previous publications I noticed that they always use same pseudopotential. I think you
