[CP2K:8806] very long calculation time

[Amin]

Thank you very much for your swift reply.
I am replicating a calculation that has been done previously by VASP. at 
first I tried to calculate adsorption energy with 48 atoms in my supercell, 
but there was a major difference between my results and the previous one. 
Then I modified my structure to include more atoms. I'll try to apply your 
suggestions but I also attach my complete input file in case that it might 
help to give a better perspective. 
-Because of this point that calculation stopped after reaching the 
wall-time, I set the new input file to use the Restart wave-function. But 
I'm not sure that it's been done correctly! Sorry if my questions are so 
rudimentary! 
I sincerely appreciate your time and considerations.
