[CP2K:8814] CP2K cutoff value

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

the CP2K cutoff is for the density using a hard norm conserving
pseudopotential.
I don't know what the cited cutoff is related to in VASP 
(e.g. wavefunction vs. density, type of pseudopotential, etc.)

regards

Subject: [CP2K:8814] CP2K cutoff value

Hello,
I am a new user of CP2K and have a question regarding the cutoff used in the calculations. For a small isolated system (e.g. acetone), I found that the cutoff required for an energy calculation is around 250Ry. My question is, how come CP2K requires such high cutoff values when compared to other MD programs such as VASP? A calculation on this same system on VASP requires only a 70Ry plane wave cutoff.
Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks,Bobby
