Re: [Wien] BSE

2016-03-22 Thread Peter Blaha

Hard to say.

Please note: BSE is run only once (or a few times to check convergence), 
but no scf cycle and in particular no structure optimization. Thus TIME 
is usually not so much of a problem, but it is "quality" of computer.


A 16 atom cell for BSE needs probably huge memory and you may need at 
least 512 cores (32 nodes a 16 cores, each with 64-128GB RAM) with a 
FAST infiniband for 3 days for a single run.


And: it does NOT run on 64 cores only (even not in 3 weeks)
 it does not run without fast network

For BSE the same conditions apply as for the NCM code.

Please be aware, BSE requires even for the simplest systems a big cluster
with 64-512 cores and you really need to know how to install and run big mpi
parallel programs.
The documentation is quite incomplete and pits and pieces exists coming from
different users / times, so not all info may be up to date.

I have a unit cell with 16 atoms and I ran my jobs on a cluster which
charges around 0.02 dollar per CPU hour. I guess it would be too
expensive to do the BSE calculation.

I updatedwww.wien2k.at/reg_user

For BSE the same conditions apply as for the NCM code.

Please be aware, BSE requires even for the simplest systems a big 
cluster with 64-512 cores and you really need to know how to install and 
run big mpi parallel programs.
The documentation is quite incomplete and pits and pieces exists coming 
from different users / times, so not all info may be up to date.
