[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20671] LiCl is running slower than KCl

Hi

please quantify "much slower".

Odd thing is that according to your output for LiCl you store all integrals incore:
LiCl
HFX_MEM_INFO| Number of sph. ERI's calculated on the fly:                    0
KCl
HFX_MEM_INFO| Number of sph. ERI's calculated on the fly:         178229986639

However, the total amount of integrals is much larger for LiCl  (Li has a more difuse basis than K).

regards
JH

Subject: [CP2K:20669] LiCl is running slower than KCl

Dear CP2K community,

I am running PBE0-D3 (50% HFX exchange) on several molten salt systems and I found that LiCl system is running much slower than KCl (I used identical input files for them, except coordinate-related information).
The following is HFX information the log file reports:
For LiCl:

  HFX_INFO| Replica ID:                                                        1

I would appreciate it if someone could help me to point out why LiCl is running much slower KCl.
