Hello,

Due to lack of information on what you are simulating and with which settings I think you will find more useful to perform the tests yourself where you vary the amount of CPUs used, that way you can see the actual difference.


Kind regards,

Dear Prof. Blaha Sir,

To continue from your last suggestions we have noticed the timing of a single iteration. It is 10 minutes for 16 atoms/unit cell calculation. Sir, do you think that this speed is ok considering our system having 16 cpus?.. Yes of course for we have to go for k-parallization.

Looking forwards to your comments and suggestion.

With regards,

    Dear wien2k users,

          We are working on a Li based silicate materials. We are
    trying to do simultaneous optimization of lattice parameters and
    atomic coordinates. For that we are using "Option 6" in volume
    optimize program while edited optimized.job to perform
    simultaneous force minimization. The calculation was run smoothly
    up to 2 structures i.e, case_abc_1.0 and case_abc_2.0. Then due to
    power failure the calculation was remain stopped for several
    hours.. We restarted the calculation by putting # to the two lines
    corresponding to 1st and 2nd structure in optimize.job...such that
    the calculation starts from the structure case_abc_3.0....However,
    while running for 3rd structure the following display came in
    "show dayfile" option.

    ERROR status in case_abc___3.0

    we are using wien2k 13.1

    What could be the possible reasons for this error?.any response in
    this regard will be fruitful for us. Thanks in advance.
