[Pw_forum] plot with gnuplot

2008-08-13 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear Mansoureh, A better way to put the graphs into WORD is to first convert the eps file into png (or other format like jpg. Personally I prefer png for its small file size and lossless compression). To do this, if you are Windows user, Photoshop will work fine. If you use Linux, GIMP can also

[Pw_forum] Stress tensor from pw.x and cp.x

2008-05-22 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear all, Since my calculation is really simple, I am not going to attach my input file here. I use the QE-3.1.1 code, and perform scf calculation using pw.x on a 64-atom cell, which has a perfect fcc structure, using only the gamma point. I obtain a stress tensor then. Later on I use exactly

[Pw_forum] Output and parallelization problem in pw.x

2007-02-12 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear all, I have serveral problems about pw.x. The performance of pw.x running in parallel under inter-node, is unreasonbly poor (about 25%). Later, I type sar to check, and find that something called "contextswitch" appears very frequently. But when pw.x is run under intra-node process, the

[Pw_forum] About Pseudo-Potential generation

2007-01-25 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear Paolo, Thanks very much for your answering. But I still do not fully understand your answers about fractional occupation. In my example, some may use [Ne]3s1.5 for Mg. And you said that this is for computational convenience. Can you elaborate more on this point? By the way, if this

[Pw_forum] About Pseudo-Potential generation

2007-01-23 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear all, I have serveral questions about PP generation. Please forgive me if there are any stupid question as I am a new in this field. (1) Comparing Rabe-Rappe-Kaxiras-Joannopoulos and Troullier-Martin pseudization, it seems that the former is simpler. But actually which one is better? Do

[Pw_forum] difference between molecular dynamics of PW and that of CPMD

2007-01-04 Thread Lawrence Lee
Dear sir / madam, I am a new user of pwscf. I know that pw can do molecular dynamics. What is the difference between that and CPMD? Besides, do you know how to restart the run in pw.x? For example, if I have made a run of 400 steps with dt = 20 atomic time unit, but now I find it
