  APPLY_CUTOFF
  	APPLY_CUTOFF {Logical}
  	When enabled the cpu backend apply a spherical cutoff on the top of the cube. There is a performance penalty using it in combination with the cpu backend but it is on by default for the regtests
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .TRUE.

  BACKEND
  	BACKEND {Keyword}
  	Selects the backed used by the grid library.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword.
  	Default value: AUTO
  	List of valid keywords: AUTO Let the grid library pick the backend automatically CPU Optimized CPU backend DGEMM Alternative CPU backend based on DGEMM GPU GPU backend optimized for CUDA that also supports HIP HIP HIP backend optimized for ROCm REFERENCE Reference backend implementation

  VALIDATE
  	VALIDATE {Logical}
  	When enabled the reference backend is run in shadow mode and its results are compared with those from the selected backend. If the two results differ by too much then the calculation is aborted.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.
