Default value:

PRINT_EXX {Keyword} |
|
| Print exchange self-energy minus exchange correlation potential for Gamma-only calculation (PRINT). For a GW calculation with k-points we use this output as exchange self-energy (READ). This is a temporary solution because the hybrid MPI/OMP parallelization in the HFX by Manuel Guidon conflicts with the parallelization in low-scaling GW k-points which is most efficient with maximum number of MPI tasks and minimum number of OMP threads. For HFX by M. Guidon, the density matrix is fully replicated on every MPI rank which necessitates a high number of OMP threads per MPI rank for large systems to prevent out of memory. Such a high number of OMP threads would slow down the GW calculation severely. Therefore, it was decided to temporarily divide the GW k-point calculation in a Gamma-only HF calculation with high number of OMP threads to prevent out of memory and a GW k-point calculation with 1 OMP thread per MPI rank reading the previousHF output. | |
| This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword. | |
