[CP2K:255] Re: flags for reducing memory consumption for quickstep and quickstep QM/MM

[Teodoro Laino]

Very good Axel,

let me point the situation:

there's a keyword RS_GRID in the EWALD section (both in MM and DFT)  
but that one affects only the EWALD calculations.
In particular EWALD in MM should be quite clear.. EWALD in DFT is  
used for DFTB.

the other place where there's a RS_GRID keyword is in the &QS section  
and this should affect the memory in your case.

if you use RS_GRID in the EWALD, it is properly parsed but has no  
effect on your GPW calculation.
