Thank you very much for the advice.

I am using POISSON since it is an isolated cluster and a non-periodic 
system.
I did not specify any cell parameters in the input file since it is a 
cluster. I don't think there is any reason to specify a cell, and I believe 
the cp2k manual indicates that the program defaults to considering the 
project an isolated system if there are no cell parameters. Does this make 
sense to you? 
It is true that cp2k terminates the program by itself if there are no cell 
parameters for MD, but for Geo, cp2k just keeps running without any error 
message.
