[Wien] [SPAM?] Re: Parallel execution on new Intel CPUs

2023-02-14 Thread Laurence Marks
Two things: 1) The CPU you have looks interesting. Can you please run and post the benchmark from the Wien2k page for different omp (and mpi would be good). It would be good to know what the "Hybrid Core" architecture does with Wien2k. For mpi elpa is much better -- it can also be better for

[Wien] Definition of directions in QTL band character calculations

2023-02-14 Thread pluto via Wien
Dear All, I am interested in calculating different types of orbital characters. When calculating a TMDC of 1T type (space group 164) I experience the following: (A). When using regular commands (x lapw2 -band -qtl -up/dn -so) I am having x swapped with z. Perhaps also other things happen,

Dear Prof. Blaha, Thank you for comments. At the moment I have 56 k-points in a big slab of one of the ternary magnetic 2D materials. Perhaps I can reduce k-points, something to test. Also now I see that my 56 k-points are compatible with 1:localhost lines :-) Also, for now it does not

[Wien] XANES from a converged solution obtained using HF

2023-02-14 Thread shamik chakrabarti
Dear Wien2k users, I have a converged solution obtained using HF. Now I want to plot XANES. Is it right to calculate the same from the converge solution obtained using HF? Also whether I need to put -hf at any stage as required for DOS or band structure? Looking forward to

How many k-points do you have ? (And how many cores in total ?) The number of lines (8 or 16) needs to be "compatible" with the number of k-points. I have no experience how the memory-bus of this cpu is and how "equal" the load is distributed. You need to check the dayfile and check if eg.

Dear Profs. Blaha, Marks, Thank you for the information! Could you give an estimate what could be a possible speed-up when I use mpi parallelization? My tests on 36-inequivalent-atom slab so far indicate that there is nearly no difference between different k-parallel and OMP settings. So

I have no experience for such a CPU with fast and slow cores. Simply test it out how you get the fastest turnaround for a fixed number of k-points and different number of processes (should be compatible with your k-points) and OMP=1-2 (4). Previously, overloading (using more cores than the
