[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21296] Re: out-of-memory issue in hybrid DFT TDDFT calculation in CP2K 2025.01

[Augustin Bussy]

Hello,
To the best of my knowledge, TDDFT is not implemented with k-point sampling 
in CP2K. That being said, your calculation fails at the SCF stage, in the 
RI-HFXk calculation.
The RI-HFXk method for k-point is optimized for small unit cells, and does 
not scale well with unit cell size. 200 atoms is out of range for this 
method.
To get the equivalent of k-point HF with large systems, you should use 
supercell calculations. This will end up using less computational resources 
since the standard HFX
implementation of CP2K scales linearly with system size.
Best,
Augustin
