Re: [QE-users] Is wfcdir still functional?

I think that wavefunctions are saved to file (in the internal format used by QE) at the end of each scf calculation in a structural optimization run, because of the way the interpolation algorithm works. If one doesn't use wave function interpolation there is no need to save the wavefunctions. I

Dear Dr. Giannozzi, For QE input to be portable, not only wfcdir but also max_seconds should be read from environment variables. Time limit differs with batch queues. Best regards, ---Sender--- Takahiro Chiba Undergraduate at Hokkaido University takahiro_ch...@eis.hokudai.ac.jp -

Dear Mr. Marchand, Dr. Giannozzi, and all QE users, No "pwscf.wfcN" was found in "wfcdir" because he did calculation='scf' and disk_io='low', I suspect. When I do "relax" calculation with disk_io='low' option, QE 6.5 with intel MPI 18 on CentOS 6 does write "pwscf.wfcN" in "wfcdir", where N is

I think wfcdir is still used when wavefunctions are saved to disk during the scf calculation (option disk_io='high', that shouldn't be normally used) but not for writing the final data. Is there a good reason to use wfcdir? My opinion is that it should be deleted, together with outdir and

I am trying to make use of the wfcdir setting, but it seems that it does nothing. For example, the code below works fine but wavefunction files are saved to the outdir and not the wfcdir. I saw a post from 2011 that wfcdir was working back then, but does anyone know if it's been deprecated? Best,
