Dear users, I am running iterative diagonalization calculations on very big slab at a shared user computational facility. At the end of each run (the max runtime is 48 hours) , I delete the scratch directory (whether or not the job is converged). When I re-start the run, I create a new scratch directory.
My question is the following: When running iterative diag. calculations, should I keep the initial scratch directory (the scratch directory created during the first run) intact and use it for subsequent runs or it is okay to delete and make a new directory per run as I have described above. Thank you.
