[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17664] Re: Use small cell for supercell guess?

[Matt Watkins]

If pure dft you could replicate the density and start from that - but not 
an option that is available and doesn't work for hybrids / wavefunctions.
In principle you can Fourier transform an appropriate k-point enabled 
calculate to get the equivalent larger gamma point calculation ... but not 
available atm.
Mostly convergence is quick enough / compute power plentiful enough  that 
it is just not worth the effort of these sort of tricks.
