[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18140] Re: Temperature drift in polaron study

[Vinayak Vinayak]

Hi Marcella,

Thanks a lot for your advice! I have been trying to follow it but still 
facing some issues.
1. The simulation has run for 500 fs and seems to be settling around 150K 
rather than 300K (plot attached). I dont see how that may increase later.
2. For some reason it is taking us a lot of time to run even 500fs of 
calculations. It has taken a week to run just 500fs. 
I am using 6 nodes, with 32 cores on each using mpirun. The jobs script is 
attached as well. Is this the speed one should expect or is there a faster 
way to proceed?
We have 192 atoms in the system, so we have tried to optimize for that as 
well. 

It would be extremely helpful if you could help us with the above. 

Thanks a lot,
Vinayak
