[CP2K-user] Speeding up Geometry Optimization

[ASSIDUO Network]

Hi there everyone, hope you had a great weekend.

I am busy geometry optimizing a stack of Au (111) slabs, in fact six of 
them. Although I am achieving SCF convergence for the following input file 
(sometimes in just 3 steps), it's taking way too long to  complete the 
calculation. My job of using 64 threads over 48 hours is not finishing. Do 
you have any recommendations for me on how to speed up my run?

Much appreciated,
Lenard
