Hi
as I said in the last comment - it is an art - to choose the
best parameter. You need some experience to get "optimal"
performance/convergence.
I usually play with these parameters
STEP_SIZE 0.08
MAX_INIT 50
MAX_FUN 250
STEP_SIZE_SCALING 0.90
Start with large STEP_SIZE (0.1) and small MAX_FUN (50-100)
and end with small STEP_SIZE (0.00001) and large MAX_FUN(5000).
regards

Hi Hutter,
I find I need to restart the optimization for many times. It always needs 5000 restarting calculations using previous step GTH parameters. This process is so slow. How can I speed up this process?
With my best regards,
Zhi

for many atoms you have to restart the optimization frequently
until you reach sufficient convergence.
For the restart you copy the GTH-PARAMETER to your input.
Optimization is a kind of art. Choosing the parameter in the
POWELL section is important for good performance. Still, it takes
me often several 10'000 steps to reach reasonable results.

Hi Hutter,
Thank you! I use your input file to generate the pseudopotential of Ti and I can reproduce your result. But I still have a question, the initial guess is nearly same with the final optimized pseudopotential. How can we get the better initial guess? These parameters include the R^cut and coefficients in non-local part and R^cut for each channel and h^ij coefficients in the local part.
With my best regards,
Zhi

the optimization of GTH pseudos is not unique. Depending on your
object function, starting point and convergence you can get rather
different results. The performance of all these different pseudos
should be rather similar though.
There are also elements that can be tricky to get and many repeated
optimizations and some 'magic' is needed to get good results.

Subject: [CP2K:11041] Generate the GTH pseudopotential by ATOM
Hello,
I need to generate the GTH pseudopotential and hope to use ATOM code in CP2K. But I find it is a little hard for me. The only thing I can do is just changing the initial guess of pseudopotential parameters. But there are so many parameters in GTH pseudopotential. The optimized pseudopotential changes slightly compared with initial guess. Can anyone tell me how to generate the GTH pseudopotential correctly by ATOM? I will be very appreciated!
Best regards,
Zhi
