E_GAP

Type: real
Default: -1.00000000E+000
Usage: E_GAP 0.5

Description: Gap energy for integration grids in Hartree. Defaults to -1.0 (automatic determination). Recommended to set if several RPA or SOS-MP2 gradient calculations are requested or to be restarted. In this way, differences of integration grids across different runs are removed as CP2K does not include derivatives thereof.

E_RANGE

Type: real
Default: -1.00000000E+000
Usage: E_RANGE 10.0

Description: Energy range (ratio of largest and smallest) energy difference of unoccupied and occupied orbitals for integration grids. Defaults to 0.0 (automatic determination). Recommended to set if several RPA or SOS-MP2 gradient calculations are requested or to be restarted. In this way, differences of integration grids across different runs are removed as CP2K does not include derivatives thereof.

GROUP_SIZE

Type: integer
Default: 1
Aliases: NUMBER_PROC
Usage: GROUP_SIZE 2

Description: Group size used in the computation of GPW and MME integrals and the MP2 correlation energy. The group size must be a divisor of the total number of MPI ranks. A smaller group size (for example the number of MPI ranks per node) accelerates the computation of integrals but a too large group size increases communication costs. A too small group size may lead to out of memory.

MEMORY

Type: real
Default: 1.02400000E+003
Usage: MEMORY 1500

Description: Maximum allowed total memory usage during MP2 and related WF_CORRELATION methods [MiB].

SCALE_S

Type: real
Default: 1.00000000E+000
Usage: SCALE_S 1.0

Description: Scaling factor of the singlet energy component (opposite spin, OS) of the MP2, RI-MP2 and SOS-MP2 correlation energy.

[Edit on GitHub]

SCALE_T

Type: real
Default: 1.00000000E+000
Usage: SCALE_T 1.0

Description: Scaling factor of the triplet energy component (same spin, SS) of the MP2 and RI-MP2 correlation energy.
