Different version, different result?

Dear prof. Hutter,



I tried as you suggested the higher EPS convergence (even up to 1E-15)
and the values indeed changed a little bit, but they still are not
even close to the old values. So I performed a larger number of tests
using more then 2 versions of cp2k, and I found two versions
(2009-06-03 and 2009-08-25) that have identical linear respons scf
cycles, identical g_zke but different spin-orbit contributions to the
g-tensor. The Juin version still has (approximatly) the same values as
before and also has the fast linres convergence algorithm used in the
August version.

I tried GPW calculations with not difference between the two versions
as a result, so the problem is the GAPW part of the g-tensor code.
I checked this part of the code carefully (lines 405-568 in the
qs_linres_epr_ownutils.F file) and checked the called functions, but I
can't find any big changes of these called functions during the period
of interest (Juin-August 2009). There are some modifications but
mostly expantions...

The most important part of the code seems to be

                         temp_so_gapw(iB,idir1) = temp_so_gapw
(iB,idir1) + &
                               (-1.0_dp)**(1 + ispin) * ( &
                               jrho1_atom%jrho_vec_rad_h(idir2,ispin)
%r_coef(ir,ia) * &
                               vks_ra_idir3 - &
                               jrho1_atom%jrho_vec_rad_h(idir3,ispin)
%r_coef(ir,ia) * &
                               vks_ra_idir2 &
                               ) * grid_atom%wr(ir)*grid_atom%wa(ia)

where ispin is certainly constant during different versions. I guess
grid_atom is also the same as before (since the energy etc is the same
in different versions). Also the functions to generate vks_ra_idirX is
not changed that period (that's the Eval_Interp_Spl3_pbc function) and
jrho1_atom is data recieved from the linres cycle and already used for
the GPW part, so I don't see problems there as well.

With this additional information, do you have any idea what could
cause the problem? I am sorry to bother you this much about this
problem but I would really like to sort this out.



Sincerely yours,



Andy Van Yperen-De Deyne
